Niners, WR Brandon Aiyuk agree to four-year, $120 million extension

Aiyuk has lengthy sought an extension after which requested a commerce in July. Commerce hypothesis initially ramped up in the course of the 2024 NFL Draft and it surrounded Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. The 49ers drafted extensive receiver Ricky Pearsall, however no commerce materialized and Lynch appeared to snuff out any additional hypothesis. That each one modified with stalled negotiations and at one level it appeared that Aiyuk was extra more likely to be shifting on from The Bay.

As a substitute, he is staying put and head coach Kyle Shanahan is little question happier along with his star receiver again within the fold.

Aiyuk is an elite wideout in his prime, as he is coming off a season by which he posted a career-high 1,342 receiving yards to go together with 75 receptions and 7 touchdowns. It was his second straight 1,000-yard marketing campaign, and regardless that he was perceived as struggling in his first two seasons, Aiyuk has had a minimum of 55 catches, 745 yards and 5 TDs in every of his 4 years.

Coaching camp contract drama is nothing new for the 49ers, who’ve handled it in three consecutive years following Samuel requesting a commerce in 2022 and Nick Bosa holding out in 2023. Each of these had been resolved with every getting extensions and remaining essential cogs on the perennial Tremendous Bowl contenders — identical to Aiyuk now. The histrionics have not concluded, although, as offensive deal with Trent Williams stays a holdout.

Nevertheless, the Aiyuk stalemate is finished. He is not sitting on the dock of The Bay ready to receives a commission, he is obtained his new deal.
