The New England Patriots still have time to add more talent to the offense, and there continue to be signs of a possible deal with the 49ers.
San Francisco on Tuesday signed Christian McCaffrey to a two-year extension, averaging $19 million per year, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, citing sources. The Niners began mandatory minicamp the same week, which Brandon Aiyuk did not report to, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. The wide receiver is subject to $104,259 in fines over the next three days, per terms of the NFL CBA.
Aiyuk reportedly wants a massive contract extension, but despite public claims from top brass, the 49ers appear willing to wait out talks as long as possible.
