One is staying, one is going. Dieter Kurtenbach tries to answer your questions about both directions.

Aiyuk and his representation can reasonably ask for $30 million per season. That’s what the Lions just gave Amon-Ra St. Brown. Aiyuk is guaranteed every penny of roughly $40 million if he does nothing. That’s $14 million in his salary for this season — his fifth-year option — and roughly $25 million should the Niners franchise tag him for 2025.
Three teams fit the bill right now. I’d imagine one of them will still be serious about trading for Samuel after this season:Toss in the Steelers and the Chargers and I think the Niners will have options.
