As Aiyuk approaches the last year of his rookie contract, discussions have emerged about the possibility of extending his contract amid the 2024 NFL Draft's rich wide receiver talent. The 49ers are contemplating whether to pay Aiyuk $23-$25M per year or explore trade options to potentially acquire a rookie wide receiver on a more cost-effective deal.
