Latest Brandon Aiyuk contract prediction might be affordable after all
That should comfort star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is currently awaiting his own lucrative contract extension after leading his team in receiving yards the last two seasons. And while he’s aware of contractual standoffs between the Niners and other players, such as fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel in 2022 and defensive end Nick Bosa in 2023, Aiyuk also understands the chances of him getting a respectable deal are solid.
But one of the problems facing San Francisco is the fact it has a Super Bowl-caliber roster, chock full of stars who are commanding top dollar at their respective positions. There’s this thing called a salary cap, the 49ers are much closer to the ceiling than the floor and still have to navigate what’ll be a massive extension for the player who fed Aiyuk for the last year-plus, quarterback Brock Purdy, who’ll be due a pay increase in 2025.
As Aiyuk and the Niners navigate the delicate dance of negotiations, it’s a good question to figure out what the 2020 first-round NFL Draft pick will command on a new deal.
