NFL Insider Albert Breer predicts that Brandon Aiyuk's contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers will be worth $29 million per year on average.
Training camp will start at the end of July and players will begin practicing at the beginning of August. Ideally, the 49ers would have Aiyuk signed and on the field on the first day of padded practices. And that's exactly what Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer expects to happen.
"I think the San Francisco 49ers will make a very real effort to sign receiver Brandon Aiyuk before the start of training camp,"has the San Francisco 49ers’ offer at a new-money average of $26 million per year. My sense is that’s getting in the neighborhood of where they’ll have to lock up Brandon Aiyuk, whom they really do value and love., which would put Aiyuk past the Miami Dolphins’ Jaylen Waddle and Detroit Lions’ Amon-Ra St.
"The interesting thing from there would be how the Niners react when calls start coming in on Deebo Samuel." It also will be interesting to see if Aiyuk will accept less than $30 million per season. It seems as though his pride won't allow him to. It also seems as though the 49ers don't want to pay Aiyuk $30 million per season just based on principle. So one side will have to cave, and Breer thinks it will be Aiyuk.Grant Cohn has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily since 2011.
