The Brandon Aiyuk saga was one of the most drawn out, will-he or won’t-he football storylines in years. Speculation about a potential trade began around the draft and went hot and cold throughout the summer, past training camp, the preseason, and nearly to Week 1. It was finally resolved last week when Aiyuk agreed to a 4-yar, $120 million deal to remain with the San Francisco 49ers.
Speaking to reporters for the first time after inking his deal, Aiyuk admits he could’ve made things easier for everyone.
“I’m not going to lie,” Aiyuk said via 49ers’ reporter Matt Maiocco.
