One of the largest possible movements in an offseason 49ers full of cost reduction measures may not materialize.
San Francisco should not exchange the Large Brandon Aiyuk recipient before Tuesday, when he should receive a bonus from the alignment of $ 22.85 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported on Sunday, adding that the 49ers are not likely to exchange Aiyuk this off -season after receiving the bonus.
The $ 120 million contract over four years in Aiyuk signed at the end of August in August is one of the most expensive offers of the books of the 49ers while they are trying to release the space for a mega-extension expected for the quarter-Arrière Brock Purdy. This is also an important obstacle in negotiations with any team interested in adding Aiyuk, who recovers from the tear of ACL and MCL to the right knee last October in a defeat against chiefs.
The injury limited Aiyuk to seven games in 2024, when he only caught 25 assists for 374 yards and did not score, disappointing follow -up to be appointed a player in the second team in a season in 2023 while the 49ers carried out a Super Bowl race.
The five more months between the defeat of the Super Bowl against Kansas City and Aiyuk Sigant his contract presented all kinds of posture on social networks and commercial discussions while the 49ers seemed ready to send the receiver to Pittsburgh and it was also linked to another AFC North team in the Cleveland Browns. The 49ers also wrote Ricky Pearsall Jr. in the first round, despite an established reception trio of Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, alongside All-Pro reception options in the close winger George Kittle and the ball carrier Christian McCaffrey.
Jennings received a tender of the second round of the 49ers and Kittle could be ready for an extension, but Samuel was exchanged in Washington for a choice of fifth round in the 49ers cap purge. It will be the extent of the impact of cost reduction on the receiver room unless something important changes before Tuesday.
