According to the source, San Francisco will prioritize reaching a contract extension with the gifted wide receiver following the draft.
Although there’s still a chance that things might change, particularly if San Francisco and the wide receiver can’t come to an agreement on an extension before the 2024 season begins, it appears likely that he will play for the team in the upcoming season.
Aiyuk ended with 75 receptions for a career-high 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games with the 49ers in 2023.
He has caught 15 touchdown passes in his last two seasons with San Francisco, which ties him for sixth most in the NFL since 2022.
Finding a means to keep Aiyuk on the 49ers has always been in their best interest, and it now appears like it has a strong possibility of really occurring.
