Brandon Aiyuk Video Sparks Speculation About Potential New Contract with the San Francisco 49ers

Are the defending NFC Champion San Francisco 49ers going to pay one of their best offensive players this offseason? That's the multi-million dollar question in the Bay Area as we enter the 2024 training camp and Brandon Aiyuk is yet to sign a new deal with the team.

Or has he?

Just a couple of weeks after Aiyuk formally requested a trade, a video has shown him in attendance at training camp practices, though not suited up to play. However, a warm greeting between the wide receiver and general manager John Lynch on Wednesday is conjuring up some questions about a potential deal that might have gotten done.

In the video, Aiyuk walks up to Lynch and gives him a big handshake. He then greats head coach Kyle Shanahan with a hug.

It's impossible to know from the video alone, but context clues would suggest that these aren't two parties who are currently at odds over a contract.

No announcement about a deal has come since the video became public, but it wouldn't at all be a shock to see the team and Aiyuk agree to an extension in the next couple of days after the mood that we are seeing among all parties here.
