Brandon Aiyuk appears at 49ers practice as a spectator as his ‘hold in’ enters a 4th week
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — Star receiver Brandon Aiyuk was back out at San Francisco 49ers practice as a spectator as his contract hold in enters a fourth week still in search of a resolution. Aiyuk skipped the entire offseason program and hasn’t practiced yet in training camp as he seeks either a long-term contract with San Francisco or a trade to a team that can agree with the receiver on a new deal and give the 49ers enough compensation to part with him. “It’s crazy.” Aiyuk had been set to play on the fifth-year option worth about $14.1 million this season and wanted San Francisco to make him the latest receiver to cash in with a long-term deal. “I don’t want to say nothing crazy but they’ll figure it out, eventually for sure.” NOTES: The 49ers signed DL Nick Williams to a one-year deal after losing Kalia Davis to a knee injury in the exhibition opener.. LB Ezekiel Turner was released to make room.. WR Danny Gray had the blue no-contact jersey removed.. First-round rookie WR Ricky Pearsall remains sidelined.
