San Francisco 49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk Seeking New Contract As Trade Rumors Swirl
San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk is making headlines as he seeks a new deal instead of playing for his current $14.12 million salary this year. Rumors have been circulating that Aiyuk’s agent may have been given permission to seek a trade for the star player.
During a recent press conference, General Manager John Lynch refused to confirm or deny these rumors, further fueling speculation about Aiyuk’s future with the team. Lynch did, however, express the team’s desire to keep Aiyuk in San Francisco for the entirety of his career.
Aiyuk’s absence from offseason workouts has not gone unnoticed, as he is reportedly using it as leverage in ongoing contract negotiations. While Aiyuk has not officially requested a trade, the possibility of a deal being struck in the near future is certainly on the table.
As fans anxiously await further developments, it remains to be seen whether Aiyuk will remain a 49er or if he will be donning a different jersey in the upcoming season. Stay tuned to Poh Diaries for all the latest updates on this developing story.
