Brandon Aiyuk Signs $120M Extension with 49ers

Star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has ended his contract dispute with the San Francisco 49ers by agreeing to a four-year extension worth $120 million, with $76 million guaranteed. The agreement follows a tumultuous offseason where Aiyuk requested a trade, missed practices, and engaged in a 'hold-in' by citing a back injury. Despite multiple trade discussions and social media drama, Aiyuk's deal was finalized just before the regular season opener. This extension solidifies Aiyuk's position as a key player for the 49ers, who now boast one of the NFL's most formidable offenses. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch expressed relief and optimism about the resolution. The deal's guaranteed money is expected to impact ongoing contract negotiations with other key players like Trent Williams.
