The 26-year-old skipped mandatory minicamp seeking the long term deal he wanted, incurring a hefty fine along the way. Aiyuk is due $14.124 million in the final year of his rookie contract.
The 49ers have made it clear they have no intentions to trade Aiyuk.
In the past, the 49ers have had players such as Deebo Samuel and Robbie Gould also request trades before reaching deals with both players. The 49ers intend to keep Brandon Ayiuk, not trade him. https://t.co/mTP2z8AlOZ
