However, that doesn't seem to be the case.
When asked on Friday about any updates on the contract situations of Aiyuk and tackle Trent Williams, Shanahan simply stated, "No updates."
Aiyuk reported to training camp but has refrained from participating in practices as he seeks a contract extension. Williams, who has no more guaranteed money on his current deal, is seeking a restructured contract and did not report to training camp.
Addressing the hug he shared with Aiyuk on Wednesday, Shanahan said, "That's just usually how we greet each other, honestly. You guys would see maybe a lot more hugs in here if we had a film for you guys, but we're not on Hard Knocks. We saw him on the field. He hadn't been on the field a lot. We walked by each other and it's usually how we greet each other. Bro hug, nothing more, nothing less."
Aiyuk is slated to earn $14.124 million on a team-exercised fifth-year option, which is well below the market value for top receivers, with several now earning at least $30 million annually.
Williams is under contract through the 2026 season after signing a six-year, $138.06 million extension in 2021.
