Aiyuk: 49ers āsaid they donāt want me backā
Brandon Aiyuk posted a video to his TikTok saying the 49ers āsaid they donāt want me back.ā
Advice: Thereās a good chance this is a negotiation tactic by Aiyuk, who skipped out on mandatory minicamp amidst his contract dispute with the team. The veteran wide receiver is set to play out 2024 on the fifth-year option the 49ers exercised earlier this offseason, but he appears steadfast in his desire not to play without a long-term extension. Aiyuk caught 74 passes for a career-high 1,342 yards last season and found the end zone seven times. The 2020 first-rounder has strung together back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons and has been a focal point of the offense. However, the lack of movement on an extension, coupled with their selection of Ricky Pearsall in the first round of this yearās draft, could be spelling the end of Aiyukās time in the Bay Area. ESPNās Jeremy Fowler reports that the 49ers āā to extend Aiyuk, ābut the sense is things have stalled.ā Weāll see what comes of this situation in the coming weeks, but with training camp a month away, itās fair to say Aiyuk is a legitimate threat of a holdout if he and the team canāt agree to terms on an extension.
