Brandon Aiyuk is taking negotiations public via TikTok with Aiyuk telling former teammate Jayden Daniels that the 49ers do not want him back with them.
Brandon Aiyuk has made it publicly known that he either wants to get paid by the San Francisco 49ers or get traded to a team where he can get compensated to his liking. This is a topic that has moved to the front burner throughout the offseason only to be shelved and placed on the back burner as far as immediate attention.
In a video of a facetime call with former college teammate Jayden Daniels, Aiyuk can be seen telling Daniels that the 49ers do not want him back. While the 49ers have listened to offers for both Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, the team has not gotten offers to their liking.
With a potential logjam for team building presenting itself, the 49ers created contingent value drafting Florida Gators wide receiver Ricky Pearsall in the first round. While Aiyuk’s number one priority is getting paid, the 49ers urgent priority may not involve succumbing to Aiyuk’s demands.
Brandon Aiyuk currently goes in the early 2nd round on UnderDog and is our 16th ranked wide receiver in our Dynasty rankings. In 2023, Aiyuk was number 2 in yards per target (12.8) and yards per reception (17.9) and has had back-to-back 1,000 yard receiving seasons. Ricky Pearsall is going in round 12 on UnderDog and chances are that savvy Dynasty managers will raise the price on Ricky Pearsall. Ricky Pearsall is a hold in Dynasty and worth realizing his contingent value before you decide to cash out.

Deebo Samuel isn’t the focus of the 49ers offense, but he makes the most of his opportunities.
It seems that just about every Super Bowl Champion has an unsung hero. The tradition goes way back, from Kenny King to Dan Jansen, Larry Brown, Dexter Jackson, Deion Branch and Malcolm Smith. One player seems to come out of the woodwork and be the difference maker.
One 49er to watch for in Super Bowl LVIII as the 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs, is Deebo Samuel. Now, Samuel is not an unknown name, but he IS the 4th option in the 49ers offense. The hybrid “Wideback” sits behind CMC and Elijah Mitchell in touches per game, and behind Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle in targets, and in receiving yards per game. His path to Super Bowl Hero lies in his shared lead amongst teammates in receiving TDs with 7.
A healthy Deebo makes the entire Shanahan offense function, like a rising tide lifting all boats, and Deebo may not be the focus, but he certainly makes things happen at a higher rate than his teammates.
