SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- In the most heated moments between the San Francisco 49ers and receiver Brandon Aiyuk, there was an inescapable feeling that each side wanted to walk away from the table believing it had "won" the negotiation.

That desire led to a staring contest that finally, mercifully, came to an end Thursday when the Niners and Aiyuk agreed on a four-year, $120 million deal that will keep him in San Francisco through the 2028 season, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

According to league sources, Aiyuk accepted the same deal that had been on the table since August 12.
