The San Francisco 49ers reached an agreement with star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk on a contract extension last week, inking him to a four-year deal worth $120 million with $77 million in total guarantees.
The agreement ended a months-long standoff between Aiyuk and the 49ers, and it came at the right time, as San Francisco is now set to prepare for their Week 1 opponent, the New York Jets, with their star receiver back in the fold.
However, there were times where things looked bleak between the two sides, as Aiyuk had requested a trade, while reports came out suggesting a move elsewhere could be the likeliest outcome.
