49ers GM hopes to get Brandon Aiyuk contract extension done sooner rather than later
Associated PressSANTA CLARA, Calif. — Brandon Aiyuk is staying away from the San Francisco 49ers facility at the start of the offseason program as he seeks a lucrative long-term contract. “I’ve communicated on many occasions our wish and our wish is that he’s here and a part of the Niners for the rest of his career,” Lynch said Monday. “We’re working through that.” Aiyuk is set to play on the fifth-year option worth about $14.1 million this season and wants a long-term contract that would pay him significantly more money based on his production so far in his career. I’d sure like it to happen sooner.” Lynch characterized the communication between the two sides as “good talks” and said he has heard from teams interested in acquiring Aiyuk if the Niners are willing to deal him. But when asked whether he thought there was any chance that Aiyuk wasn’t on the team after the first round of the draft was over, Lynch simply said: “I wouldn’t anticipate that.” Aiyuk was a key part of San Francisco’s offense last season as he formed a great connection with quarterback Brock Purdy.
