nuno168 Brandon Aiyak admits he helped create conditions that made new contract talks with the San Francisco 49ers more complicated and time-consuming.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyak, 26, admitted he made negotiations over a new deal more difficult, but ultimately came to an agreement before the start of the 2024 season, according to a report from   nuno168

“I’m not going to lie, I made it a little bit harder at the end of the day than it should have been,” Aiyak said, speaking for the first time since signing a new four-year, $120 million deal. 

49ers executives have previously been vocal about their desire to keep Aiyak in San Francisco, but there have been talks of a trade for the 26-year-old wide receiver if talks over a new deal fall through. Aiyak has insisted he wants to stay with the Eagles. 

“I just felt like I wanted something, not just in terms of money, but everything,” Aiyak said. “Ultimately, I wanted to be here and I ended up being here, so I’m happy and ready to go.” 

Part of the massive extension, including $76 million in guaranteed money, came from Aiyak, who is entering the final year of his $14.1 million rookie contract. 

Aiyak had a career-best 2023 season, catching 75 passes for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns, becoming another dangerous weapon on head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense.  ( nuno168 )
