The San Francisco 49ers exercised an option on wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's contract last year, and he will become a free agent after the 2024 season.
Brandon Aiyuk is coming off arguably the best season of his NFL career, finishing the 2023 campaign with seven touchdowns and a career-best 1,342 receiving yards. Aiyuk was a 2020 first-round draft pick, and the San Francisco 49ers exercised his fifth-year option last year. So, unless he extends his contract, he'll enter free agency after the 2024 season. Aiyuk and his representatives appear to be pushing to work out a long-term deal, sooner rather than later.
Amid the ongoing contract dispute, Aiyuk appears to have unfollowed the 49ers on social media. In recent years, there's been a trend of athletes unhappy with their teams expressing frustration through social media platforms. Kyler Murray appeared to unfollow the Arizona Cardinals and removed all references to the team from his social media account in 2022. He later reloaded his Instagram with previously deleted pictures, and he eventually agreed to a lucrative contract extension during the 2022 offseason. In February, 49ers general manager John Lynch shared his hope Aiyuk would remain with the franchise for the long term. 'He served us very well as a franchise,' Lynch said at the NFL scouting combine.
