The Brandon Aiyuk saga has ended with him remaining a San Francisco 49er. He reportedly found common ground on the lucrative contract extension he’s been searching for.
According to multiple reports, Aiyuk’s deal is worth $120 million over four years. NFL Network adds that Aiyuk received $76 million in guarantees.
At one point, Aiyuk requested a trade from the 49ers because he didn’t see them reaching an agreement anytime soon.
And reports emerged that the Pittsburgh Steelers had a deal in place with the 49ers, only needing Aiyuk to sign off because a contract extension was involved.
However, his holdout from San Fran proved the right move. He is now among the highest-paid receivers in the league with an average annual salary of $30 million.
This is a developing story. More to come.
