Per a transcription of Aiyuk’s comments on Nightcap with Shannon Sharpe, Aiyuk said he wants to stay with the 49ers, but he wants to get paid his worth. Per the transcription of Aiyuk’s comment by Josh Alper with NBC Sports:

“I’m trying to get what I deserve,” Aiyuk said. “I feel like this season, this season playing football, I figured out who I was as a person and a player — what I bring to the table, what I bring to the locker room, what I bring to the organization. The value I hold when I walk in that building. People gonna follow me because I’ve done it the right way since I’ve been in that building. From the first day I walked in there to when I was in there earlier this morning.
