49ers insider provides update on Brandon Aiyuk situation

A video surfaced on Wednesday that sparked optimism among the San Francisco 49ers fanbase, suggesting a resolution to the Brandon Aiyuk situation might be nearing. The footage featured a delighted Aiyuk interacting with an equally cheerful John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan, hinting that a contract agreement might be on the horizon.

Of course, that is pure speculation.

On Thursday night, Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle provided an update on the contract standoff, though it wasn't exactly what fans were hoping for. However, it wasn't necessarily bad news either.

"As of earlier today, there was a sense in the building that it still could go a lot of different ways," Silver wrote on social media. "Obviously, that could change quickly. The fact that he showed up for camp, rather than stayed away, is probably a positive sign. Hope to learn more soon."

Aiyuk is slated to earn $14.124 million on a team-exercised fifth-year option. However, he hopes to become one of the NFL's top-paid receivers, which would mean the 49ers paying him over twice that amount annually.

Aiyuk is coming off his best year as a pro. In his 16 game appearances last season, he recorded a career-high and team-leading 1,342 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. It was his second consecutive season surpassing the 1,000-yard receiving mark.
