On Wednesday afternoon, the 49ers posted a video of Jennings signing his new deal and it looked like the former Vol might have paid homage to Tennessee via his orange dyed hair.

It's unclear if that was Jennings' plan, but considering the love he has for the Power T, it wouldn't be a surprise if that's exactly what the former Vol was doing on Wednesday.
Either way, good for Jennings on getting a new contract. No one deserves a pay day more than that guy. There aren't many players in the league that play with the same relentless effort that Jennings plays with on every single down.
