With Brandon Aiyuk's new TikTok, people are speculating on his return. So what does Aiyuk's future entail? Will he stay with the 49ers or will we see him on a new team?
I guess I’m one of those people. Although analyzing a player's social media sounds stupid and invaluable, Brandon Aiyuk is utilizing it to stir up new narratives to benefit his contract negotiations.In this TikTok, Aiyuk is on the phone with former ASU teammate Jayden Daniels, the 2nd overall pick to the Commanders, and informs him that the 49ers said they don’t want him. This naturally leads to Daniels freaking out a bit, getting excited over the idea of them playing together.
For starters, Aiyuk was offered a lowball deal for a WR1. Whether or not you agree Aiyuk is a WR1 guy on this team, his numbers last year were on that level. He was the 2nd highest-graded receiver according to PFF and was 7th in receiving yards. He had an excellent season and a young player who performs well wants to make money on their success. Look at Nico Collins' and Michael Pittman Jr.'s contracts.
The only other bit of guaranteed info we have is that Aiyuk is willing to wait this out. You don’t post a clip of you saying your team doesn’t want you unless you want some shoppers to come in. This type of play should be done after you're gone, but only if your goal is to get your opinion out. Letting it all out now while you're still on the team has to be a grab at letting teams know he wants the contract he deserves, so if you're willing to meet it, come and talk.
So now that we have the certainties out of the way, how about the uncertainties? Will Aiyuk stay or go? Ultimately, Aiyuk has all of the power. He can not play the whole season, eat all of the fines and leave when his contract is up. Or the Niners will realize they can afford him or can’t and will act accordingly. They can treat it like L’Jarius Sneed’s move to the Titans and accept he doesn’t work in their financial timeframe and move on.
Here's a fact, though: Whatever Aiyuk wants will happen. If he wants to go, he will. And if he wants to stay, he would be willing to take a pay cut.
