Brandon Aiyuk Has ‘Pessimistic’ Outlook On Re-signing With 49ers, Wants $30 Million Per Year

Another day, another update on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. While he and the team seemed to be progressing towards a contract extension, shutting down trade talks and vowing to get a long-term deal done, those talks have stalled. So much so that T.J. Housmanzadeh, Aiyuk’s personal wide receiver trainer, says Aiyuk is “pessimistic” about getting a deal done.

Houshmanzadeh appeared on 95.7 The Game’s Willard and Dibs show to discuss Aiyuk’s future.

“At one point [Aiyuk] thought he may sign…that optimistic outlook has turned into a pessimistic outlook,” Houshmanzadeh said as tweeted out by the station’s Twitter account.
