49ers Ready to make $22 million contract extension on Star WR this coming…

The San Francisco 49ers need to keep Brandon Aiyuk, and they may be able to through the 2025 season with one major choice. Aiyuk is entering the ultimate year of his rookie contract but the 49ers have the capacity to establishment tag him after the 2024 season.

ESPN correspondent Adam Schefter brought up the plausibility amid a later appearance on The Pat McAfee Appear.

“The 49ers completely do need Brandon Aiyuk back but not at the cost he’s seeking,” Schefter said. “They have continuously needed him back and they were never genuine approximately exchanging him… The 49ers may establishment tag Brandon Aiyuk once more following year on the off chance that they needed to. Let’s see what happens when preparing camp is underway.”

This can be not a modern improvement, but is an vital way for San Francisco to consider. Whereas the chatter around a potential exchange is at an all-time tall, the 49ers have time this offseason and the another to nail down a contract or a exchange.

But as Schefter specified, a exchange isn’t something San Francisco needs. As QB Brock Purdy proceeds to rise, they need to keep as numerous of their best weapons on the squad as conceivable.

San Francisco Advertised Aiyuk Contract:
Report

Back on June 14, San Francisco Chronicle writer Mike Silver uncovered that the 49ers as of late advertised Aiyuk a contract expansion. Amid an appearance on KNBR, Silver clarified that the most recent offer would put Aiyuk within the cash level fair underneath the highest-paid WRs.

“I’m hearing their offer is within the $26 million run, which certainly isn’t Justin Jefferson cash — nor ought to it be — but it’s closer to that of DeVonta Smith, Amon-Ra St. Brown, that following level down,” Silver said.

That’s a lot of money, but Aiyuk and his operators will need to induce the most excellent contract possible. It’s not clear what their perfect number is, but Jefferson’s modern expansion pays him $35 million a year.

It is additionally secure to say that’s the ceiling for Aiyuk’s another bargain, whereas $26 million is clearly the base level based on Silver’s report.
