According to NFL Network’s Peter Schrager, Ryan Williams—Brandon Aiyuk’s agent—is “very good friends” with San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch. Schrager said, “These guys are lifelong friends, guys that have known each other for over 20 years,” which is why he hopes and believes both sides will get a deal done at the buzzer.
Lynch joined KNBR Friday morning to provide as much as he can on Aiyuk’s situation:
“The communication has still been really good, both with Brandon and his agent, and we’re trying to figure out solutions. I’m always hopeful, and I can tell you we feel the urgency.
