  "account": "The San Francisco 49ers initially sought to acquire veteran wide receiver Jauan Jennings from the Minnesota Vikings, but their efforts were unsuccessful. Per Fox's Jay Glazer, the 49ers had a trade offer ready for Jennings, but he declined to speak with San Francisco's general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan on FaceTime. The 49ers had previously acquired DeForest Buckner from the Colts in a similar deal last week. Jennings, who had previously played for the 49ers in 2020 as a seventh-round pick, opted to stay with the Vikings due to his satisfaction with his current situation. The Vikings are currently the only undefeated team in the NFL, with a 6-0 record.",
