The Arizona Cardinals will see Brandon Aiyuk more moving forward.
ARIZONA -- The Arizona Cardinals - along with the rest of the NFC West - will be seeing Brandon Aiyuk more in the future.So after trade talks, a hold-in and months of speculation, the Brandon Aiyuk saga ends where it began: In San Francisco, on a four-year, $120 million extension, perThis follows months of trade drama and speculation surrounding Aiyuk, who was set to enter the final year of his contract.
Aiyuk - a first-round pick by San Francisco out of Arizona State - has been a dynamic weapon for one of pro football's best teams in recent years. His versatility has boded well in an offense that also features other top names such as George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey and Brock Purdy. "Aiyuk has long sought an extension and then requested a trade in July. Trade speculation initially ramped up during the 2024 NFL Draft and it surrounded Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel . The 49ers drafted wide receiver Ricky Pearsall , but no trade materialized and Lynch looked to snuff out any further speculation. That all changed with stalled negotiations and at one point it seemed that Aiyuk was more likely to be moving on from The Bay.
"Instead, he's staying put and head coach Kyle Shanahan is no doubt happier with his star receiver back in the fold."Donnie Druin is the Publisher for All Cardinals and Inside The Suns.
