49ers disgruntled WR Brandon Aiyuk is meeting today with the 49ers, as ESPN's @Realrclark25 reported on NFL Live.

Clark mentioned on NFL Live that Aiyuk met with the 49ers on Monday and that the meeting came at his request. Schefter added that GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan were at the meeting. That information signals the importance of the meeting.
It should be noted that Clark also mentioned that when he spoke with Aiyuk, the star receiver wasn't alone. He was with Washington Commanders rookie QB Jayden Daniels, who is a friend and college teammate of Aiyuk. Schefter made sure to mention that the 49ers and Commanders had discussions about an Aiyuk trade back in April, but that Washington wouldn't pull the trigger.
At this point, it's unclear what was discussed in the meeting, but we can be relatively certain it had to do with money and the contract both sides are hoping to soon work out. Clark mentioned that part of Aiyuk's frustration is, "That the way they (49ers) have negotiated with him, that the way they have told him why he's worth what he's worth, it has touched him, it has affected him." Aiyuk clearly does not like how contract negotiations have gone so far. So we can safely assume that was part of the discussion.
Here's the full video on Brandon Aiyuk:

This isn't the first time Daniels has been mentioned with Aiyuk. Last week, Aiyuk stirred things up by posting a video of a conversation with Daniels, in which the 49ers wide receiver said, "They said they don't want me back...I swear." Schefter has mentioned multiple times that the 49ers absolutely want Aiyuk back, but at what price? As many have pointed out already, if the 49ers didn't want Aiyuk, they would have traded him before or during the draft.
