San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is in contract negotiations with his current team, looking for what he believes he is entitled to.
Aiyuk is in his final year of his rookie career and is expected to make $14.124 million this season. Arizona State’s receivers have become reliable weapons in head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense. The wideout knows that and wants to feel the impact. “I’m trying to get what I deserve,” Aiyuk said. “This season, this season of playing football, I feel like I’ve figured out who I am as a person, as a player, what I bring to the table, what I bring to the locker room, what I bring to the organization. There is. And exactly the value you get when you enter this building.
“People will follow me because I’ve been doing the right thing since I’ve been in this building.” From the first day I was there until this morning when I was there. I did it right. “If they don’t see value in [walking with their hands], that’s it.” Otherwise, it’s nothing else. I can’t go in there. “We have hired professionals on both sides, so we hope that we can come to a professional agreement and continue playing professional football.”
Aiyuk led the 49ers with 1,342 touchdowns and seven touchdowns last season. He had over 1,000 receiving yards for the second consecutive season.

Aiyuk delivers important message to 49ers front office
Aiyuk hinted that if the 49ers don’t give him what he deserves, he will try to play elsewhere:
The 49ers may not be able to pay everyone what they deserve. This is a problem elite teams have when the salary cap is kept low. The 49ers also need to give Brock Purdy what he deserves, perhaps as early as next offseason. Let’s be honest, Purdy is currently the lowest-paid quarterback in the NFL. But again, much of Purdy’s success has to do with Aiyuk. Can the 49ers afford to keep both?
