RUMOR: NFL Insider Claims San Francisco 49ers Won’t Extend Star Wide Receiver’s Contract Ahead of 2024 Season
After losing this year’s Super Bowl to the Kansas City Chiefs with a score of 25-22, the San Francisco 49ers are looking to redeem their loss and make it back to the championship game once again. However, one star playmaker may not receive the contract he deserves ahead of next season.
NFL Insider Believes San Francisco 49ers Won’t Be Able to Extend Brandon Aiyuk’s Contract
“I think he really has emerged as a legit number one. I’m just not convinced. Considering how well he’s played and how much he’s emerged as a bonified number one wide receiver. I’m not convinced at this point that San Francisco is going to be able to pay Brandon Aiyuk the type of money he is going to command.”
While Aiyuk broke out this season achieving the 1,300-yard mark for the first time in his career, San Francisco still has Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey, All-Pro George Kittle and Deebo Samuel on roster. Which makes it difficult to pay Aiyuk the money he will most likely command.
Should San Francisco Trade Aiyuk or Extend His Contract?
Due to the hefty contract extension Aiyuk will likely ask for, trading him for assets would be the best situation for both parties. Multiple teams need a weapon on the outside with Aiyuk’s talent and Jordan Schultz believes he would be a top option if he landed on the market.
