Disgruntled receiver Brandon Aiyuk stated final week the 49ers don’t need him again. Immediately, the 49ers are assembly with Aiyuk, Ryan Clark of ESPN studies.
It’s unclear precisely what these talks entail.
Aiyuk has made clear he needs a contract extension, having skipped the whole offseason program, together with the necessary minicamp. He’s beneath contract for the fifth-year choice of $14.1 million in 2024, and he reportedly needs $30 million or extra per yr.
The perimeters seem at a contract deadlock.
Vikings receiver Justin Jefferson reset the vast receiver market this season with a four-year extension that averages $35 million per season, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback within the NFL. Eagles receiver A.J. Brown ($32 million per season), Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown ($30 million per season) and Dolphins receiver Jaylen Waddle ($28.25 million per season) even have signed contract extensions this offseason.
Aiyuk made 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and 7 touchdowns final season.
