The future of Brandon Aiyuk seems to have been decided. Amid contract issues with the San Francisco 49ers, the talented wide receiver has determined what his next step in the NFL will be.

In 2020, the 49ers opted to use their 25th overall pick to bolster their offense. Brandon Aiyuk joined the NFC West squad, looking for an opportunity to show what he is capable of.

Four years later, there’s no doubt that the 49ers were right in selecting him. However, his rookie contract has expired, and Aiyuk is searching for a new deal that the club has not offered him yet.

According to reports, Brandon Aiyuk wants to be the highest-paid wide receiver in the league. This would mean that the 49ers should give him over $35 million per year, which matches Justin Jefferson’s contract with the Vikings.

However, the club is not willing to give him such money. San Francisco is aware of the wide receiver’s talents, but the club is struggling with its salary cap space, and that type of contract would create a financial disaster.

Unfortunately for him, a trade before the kickoff seems unlikely. As of today, it seems like Aiyuk will play one more year in The Bay unless a team is willing to pay what the 49ers will ask for the player.
