Brandon Aiyuk envisions himself returning to the 49ers but he said on The Pivot podcast he could also see himself with the Washington Commanders or the Pittsburgh Steelers.
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk celebrates his touchdown against the Washington Commanders during the second half of an NFL football game, Sunday, Dec. 31, 2023, in Landover, Md. There remains no sign of a contract accord, but Aiyuk revealed he envisions returning to the 49ers, who drafted him in the 2020 first round and who he’s led with over 1,000 yards receiving the past two seasons.
“We’re starting to get our own footage, recording everything, just enjoying the process,” Aiyuk said. “Just have my lady record everything that’s going on, so I can look back on it, because it’s an exciting time. It’s stressful, but it’s exciting. I want to have these memories.” “Throughout this process, there were times we were super close, where I’d tell people and my agent, ‘Let me get my suit ready. I’m headed back to the Bay. I’ve got to get right to sign this contract,’ ” Aiyuk recalled. “There were times in this past month or so, you could say we were pretty far apart.”
Aiyuk said at one point this offseason, he’d be on the phone for two hours with his agent, who’d then talk for an hour with the 49ers, all before the wide receiver market exploded with bigger deals, such as Minnesota’s $35 million annual extension for Justin Jefferson.
