Aiyuk has not received the big contract extension he’s seeking from San Francisco.
Are there changes coming to the San Francisco 49ers offense? With no contract extension in sight, NFL insider Mike Garafolo reports that 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has requested a trade. This isn’t totally surprising news if you’ve followed this story over recent months, but now the trade request is apparently formal. Aiyuk has become arguably one of the NFL’s best wide receivers, or at least he’s on the cusp of being among the elite.
The 26-year-old had his fifth-year option picked up last offseason, which means he’s wrapping up his rookie contract with a fully guaranteed $14.1 million salary. Progress toward inking Aiyuk to a multi-year extension that would make him one of the NFL’s highest paid receivers has not gone as well as hoped for the former Arizona State star. San Francisco drafted Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall at the end of the first round, as well as Arizona’s Jacob Cowing in the fourth round.
