49ers' Brandon Aiyuk Trade Talks Heat Up Amid Market Surge
The San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk were close to a contract extension before the wide receiver market surged, complicating negotiations. Despite interest from multiple teams, including the Washington Commanders, the 49ers are determined to keep Aiyuk but are unwilling to meet his increased salary demands. Aiyuk, set to earn $14.124 million in 2024, seeks a deal closer to $30 million annually, influenced by recent high-value contracts in the market. The 49ers hold leverage with the option to use the franchise tag in future seasons.
