As the start of the 2024 NFL regular season approaches, an anonymous agent is questioning San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's approach in terms of trying to land a new contract.

Per The Athletic's Ben Standig, an NFL agent said the following about Aiyuk and his situation on Thursday: "He's handled it horribly, but sometimes you must take your grievances public. Silly, yes, but taking the team name or logo off social media accounts can cause a needed stir."

Aiyuk is set to enter the final year of his contract in 2024, but he has been "holding in," meaning that while he was present for training camp and has attended team meetings, he has not done any on-field work.
