Can the 49ers finally get a deal done with All-Pro Brandon Aiyuk?
the San Francisco 49ers have made a "renewed effort" in getting Aiyuk signed to a contract extension. He also adds that the situation is fluid and that teams are still interested in trading for him.Basically, the 49ers have rejoined the negotiating table and are trying to make a final push to extend Aiyuk. This is something that should've happened long ago instead of wasting away precious weeks of training camp.
I'm willing to bet that Kyle Shanahan, who has final say on everything, is making the boss call. He is telling those in charge of these contracts, which is Executive Vice President of Football Operations Paraag Marathe, to get the deal done. Shanahan wants his top receiver back. I believe Shanahan is doing this now because the receiver position has become battered lately. Rookie Ricky Pearsall suffered a shoulder injury, which has him out until further notice. Danny Gray is being limited and the rest of the receivers aren't sufficient for an increased role.
So, Shanahan is seeing what he has out there and likely has thought to himself "If only Aiyuk was here" during some practices. All he has is Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings to carry the load, but they aren't Aiyuk. They can't do what he does, which gives the 49ers a cutting-edge dynamic receiver. Whether a deal gets done or not is a toss-up, but one thing I'm confident in is that Aiyuk isn't going anywhere. It never made sense for the 49ers to trade him and weaken the offense with the regular season a month away.Jose Luis Sanchez III has covered the San Francisco 49ers daily for FanNation since 2019.
