Brandon Aiyuk Signs $120 Million Extension with 49ers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension, making him one of the top-five highest-paid receivers in the NFL, tied with Tyreek Hill at $30 million annually. Despite larger offers from the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots, Aiyuk chose to remain with the 49ers, where he has developed a strong connection with quarterback Brock Purdy. The deal includes $76 million guaranteed and will keep Aiyuk in San Francisco for the next five seasons. This extension follows his career-best 2023 season, where he recorded 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns, earning second-team All-Pro honors. The agreement comes after a tense offseason, with Aiyuk initially requesting a trade but ultimately deciding to stay and build his legacy with the team that drafted him.
