The San Francisco 49ers have made a significant move by extending star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
Aiyuk has signed a lucrative four-year contract extension valued at up to $120 million, ensuring his place in the Bay Area for the foreseeable future. This development was first reported by NFL Media.
This extension follows a prolonged negotiation period that saw Aiyuk initially request a trade just before training camp. There were even discussions about a potential trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers, which seemed to be nearing completion.
At 26 years old, Aiyuk has proven to be a vital component of the 49ers’ dynamic offense over his four seasons in the NFL. Last year, he achieved a personal best with 1,342 receiving yards, complemented by seven touchdowns, earning him a spot on the second team All-Pro list.
Throughout his career, Aiyuk has tallied 269 receptions, amassing 3,931 receiving yards and a total of 27 touchdowns, solidifying his status as one of the league’s promising talents.
This story is still unfolding. Stay tuned for further updates.
