Play football and just let his ability speak for itself, and we’ll see what happens after the season.Thats in his control, thats what you want.I think he would love to havehad that security already,he wouldn’t have to really think about it, and he can just go play football. But he still has an opportunity where he can just showcase his ability.”<\/p>\nJerry Rice<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

As jerry rice suggested that Aiyuk should just focus on his game and let his ability Speaks for himself this season, But Aiyuk believes that he has already done it. He has increased his yardage total in his four seasonswith 49ers, surpassing Deebo Samuel as their leading receiver.last season, He was also selected as a second team All-pro for his effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite his significant contribution that help 49ers to reach Super Bowl last year, he only got $14.124 million on his fifth year option of his rookie contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As wide receiver market exploding, its understandable Why Aiyuk is looking for a new deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wide receiver market has increased to a new high level in this 2024 NFL offseason.
Justin Jefferson , Aman-Ra St. brown and AJ Brown are the top three highest paid wide receiver in NFL history by Average Annual Value. and they all did same this year. The Contract of all three exceed $ 30 million in Average Annual Value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brandon Aiyuk hasn’t been statistically productive as all three of them, his no. has been similar to DeVonta Smith,who signed a massive contract extension worth $25 million in AVV this year,it may be a good starting point for a Aiyuk negotiations as over the past three season Aiyuk has recorded just 15 fewer total yards and has score one more touchdown then Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
