Brandon Aiyuk is reportedly seeking a contract from the 49ers that surpasses the one Amon-Ra St. Brown recently secured with the Lions.
Aiyuk’s negotiations with the 49ers are ongoing, with his goal being to match or exceed St. Brown’s deal, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. St. Brown’s contract extension, which averages $28 million per year over three years, sets a high bar, though the full details reveal some complexities that make the deal less lucrative than initial reports suggested.
The 49ers face a tough decision as they consider Aiyuk’s demands. If they choose not to meet his expectations, Aiyuk could opt to play the upcoming season on his current $14.1 million base salary. He would then enter the 2025 offseason as a free agent, where the 49ers could choose to franchise tag him, negotiate a new long-term deal, or allow him to explore other opportunities.
As contract talks continue, the outcome will significantly impact both Aiyuk’s future and the 49ers’ roster strategy.
