Anytime a wide receiver resets the market with a new contract it only benefits Brandon Aiyuk for his negotiations with the 49ers, but that might not be the case after Justin Jefferson received his extension.
He just may have gained more leverage over the San Francisco 49ers in their contract negotiations. Justin Jefferson, arguably the best receiver in the NFL, was justdeal like this will surely benefit Aiyuk
I don't think he does. He of course will try to use this against the 49ers and the 49ers will happily laugh. For starters, Aiyuk is nowhere near the caliber of player Jefferson is. To use Jefferson's deal as a means to drive up his own price is ridiculous. In fact, he probably shouldn't even mention it.
Almost like when the Cleveland Browns foolishly gave Deshaun Watson his deal that cleared the second-highest quarterback contract. These outlier contracts cannot be used, and if Aiyuk remains adamant in doing so, then he and the 49ers will never get a deal done.
