Albert Breer breaks down what really transpired in the Brandon Aiyuk–49ers negotiations:
“San Francisco was at 26 million per year in May, but didn’t move off that spot before camp kicked off in July. Then, when camp commenced, and Aiyuk decided to hold-in, the sides had to start over. On August 12, the Niners made the two proposals—one for 120 million over four years, and another for 87 million over three years. Aiyuk rejected both, and they came off the table. Then, last week, when the sides reopened talks, the Niners’ offers went back on the table, and Aiyuk took the four-year, 120 million deal.
Had the New England Patriots done a deal with the Niners for Aiyuk, and they were trying, the package was expected to be for a 2025 second-round pick, a 2026 fourth-rounder, and a player—the Niners asked for Kendrick Bourne, who played for San Francisco, is still making his way back from a torn ACL. New England put two contract proposals in front of Aiyuk. One averaged 30 million over three years, and the other exceeded 32 million per year over four years.
The Cleveland Browns were also in the mix. The Niners asked for second- and fifth-rounders and Amari Cooper for Aiyuk. That, logistically, would’ve been tricky to pull off for Cleveland—the Browns had already given Cooper an 18.79 million signing bonus as part of his restructure/raise. That said, I did hear Cleveland would’ve been willing to do a three-year deal rather than a four-year extension with Aiyuk at a really good number.
The Steelers came closest to acquiring Aiyuk. They refused to give up a current player, but were willing to part with second- and third-round picks. The interesting thing is the money wasn’t as good with the Steelers, they offered Aiyuk 27.7 million APY. The Niners made calls to about a dozen teams to see if they could flip the third-rounder somewhere else to land a veteran receiver to replace Aiyuk in the lineup.
And that underscores a key element—Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch were never going to undermine the 2024 49ers while trying to find a resolution. Aiyuk’s final number represents a healthy bump over where negotiations were in the spring, but not in the same neighborhood as the Jefferson and Lamb deals.
An even bigger key, as I see it, was that, again, Aiyuk never wanted to leave San Francisco. He knows how hard it is to win a Super Bowl. He’s been to the NFC title game three times in four years. The 49ers’ offers were competitive, despite tax-heavy California. He’s also a West Coast kid who grew up in the state, and went to college in Arizona. In the end, the only reason he considered Pittsburgh, and not Cleveland or New England, was because of a rapport he built with Steelers coach Mike Tomlin over Zoom calls before the 2020 draft.
But last Thursday, when he was faced with another chance to force his way out, one of a few he had over the past few weeks, and San Francisco’s offer went back on the table? Aiyuk’s actions showed the truth, which is, deep down, he never wanted to go, particularly with a deal in front of him that had no fluff, and set him up to earn every penny he’s owed.”
