Despite rumors of discontent, 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk remains committed to the team and is focused on securing a contract extension that reflects his contributions. While he recently unfollowed the team on social media, indicating his dissatisfaction with the current situation, there is still potential for a resolution as the 49ers prioritize discussing a new contract rather than considering a trade.
Aiyuk had an impressive performance last season with 75 catches, 1,342 yards, and seven touchdowns. As he looks ahead to the upcoming season, he is determined to continue his success on the field and negotiate a deal that reflects his value to the team.
Despite being unhappy with the lack of progress in contract extension talks, Aiyuk has not asked to be moved to another team. His agent, Ryan Williams of Athletes First, denied reports that Aiyuk requested a trade from the team. The 49ers have expressed interest in a new deal for Aiyuk as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.
While tensions may be high, Aiyuk’s relationship with the team has not deteriorated entirely. The two sides are still in discussions about a new deal that reflects Aiyuk’s contributions and value to the team.
