Brandon Aiyuk

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk is not present at the start of mandatory minicamp.

With top receivers getting paid this offseason, Aiyuk is now holding out to get his own top-of-the-market contract. It was previously reported that he was looking for a contract extension similar to the one Amon-Ra St. Brown received. Aiyuk is set to earn just over $14 million on his fifth-year option, but he is looking for long-term security. With Justin Jefferson just getting paid after Devonta Smith, Jaylen Waddle, and others signed new contracts this offseason, Aiyuk could see a deal in the ballpark of the $28-$30 million per year that Waddle and St. Brown received. As NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport notes, the next potential holdout for Aiyuk will be training camp.
