49ers Rumors: SF 'Confident' in Brandon Aiyuk Contract to Keep WR 'for the Long Haul'

Brandon Aiyuk's future with the San Francisco 49ers has been a major talking point this offseason, and the NFC West team reportedly remains "confident" it will sign him despite the uncertainty.

ESPN's Nick Wagoner reported Wednesday that "a deal doesn't appear to be imminent, but the 49ers remain confident something will get done to keep Aiyuk for the long haul."

He pointed to previous contract negotiations with players such as George Kittle, Fred Warner, Deebo Samuel and Nick Bosa that lasted well into the summer. Still, the wide receiver, who is not participating in the voluntary part of San Francisco's offseason program, has been under the spotlight this offseason.
