Brandon Aiyuk presumably is claiming the 49ers do not want him back amid an ongoing contract dispute, a month before training camp.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk participates in the NFL football Super Bowl 58 opening night, Monday, Feb. 5, 2024, in Las Vegas. The San Francisco 49ers face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58 on Sunday. That is one way to interpret the latest cryptic signal he sent Monday amid his contract dispute, five weeks before training camp begins, with or without him.
When Lynch spoke at the NFL meetings in Florida three months ago, he noted how the 49ers “appreciate the heck out of Brandon and who he is as a player. We want him to be a part of the Niners, so we’re going to work towards making that a reality.” Aiyuk responded with an emoji-filled Instagram story that essentially translated to:Aiyuk’s agent, Ryan Williams, has not commented publicly on the contract talks, other than to dispute a report that Aiyuk requested a trade before April’s NFL Draft.
Aiyuk is coming off his second straight 1,000-yard season for the 49ers, who’ve annually rewarded a homegrown talent with a market-setting contract each of the past four summers. They’re already investing heavily in the receiving corps beyond Aiyuk. Aiyuk is subject to a $100,000 fine for skipping minicamp over what Shanahan termed “contract stuff,” adding: “We know what the process is, we know what the business part is, and that’s just how they decide how they want to handle this week.”Levi’s Stadium: Cost of cops at NFL games has more than doubled in past decade
