As the Brandon Aiyuk/San Francisco 49ers contract negotiations head into summer, we have a contract benchline to look at. Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Brandon Aiyuk is looking into a recent extension the Detroit Lions made with their wide receiver:
“They [49ers and Aiyuk] have been talking, they’ve been negotiating. Nothing immenient as of yet, but there’s certainly a chance. I was told the benchmark here is Amon-Ra St. Brown, because he got $28 million dollars a year on a four-year deal from Detroit. The goal is, it appears, for Aiyuk to try to beat that.
