John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan are speaking up at the NFL’s annual owners meeting about the 49ers’ offseason and 2024 plans.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk takes off his helmet on while practicing during the Super Bowl bye week at the 49ers practice facility in Santa Clara, Calif., on Thursday, Feb. 2, 2024. General manager John Lynch, speaking to Bay Area media at the NFL owners’ meeting in Florida, disputed reports that the 49ers are discussing any potential trade of Aiyuk.
The rumors of a Brandon Aiyuk trade to Pittsburgh are false. “We want him to be a part of the Niners, so we’re going to work towards making that a reality.” John LynchAiyuk, after posting a second straight season of over 1,000 receiving yards, is slated to make $14.1 million this year under the fifth-year option that closes out his rookie contract. Lynch, in meeting with Bay Area media, said the 49ers are OK with Aiyuk playing at that salary.
Rumors swirled last week that the Pittsburgh Steelers could be vying for Aiyuk, who addressed a social-media post to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin if he thought they looked like twins. “He’s just a good player, he sees the field, he’s got good accuracy, great timing with his receivers, and he’s calm. You feel like he’s got everything kind of under control.”
