On Tuesday, the 49ers extended one of their star offensive weapons. However, it wasn’t Brandon Aiyuk. The 49ers reportedly inked running back Christian McCaffrey to a new two-year extension worth $19 million per year.
Since the end of the 49ers’ Super Bowl run last season, there has been chatter about Aiyuk’s future in San Francisco. Aiyuk is heading into the final year of his rookie contract and is seeking a new deal.
With his contract situation looming, the star wide receiver has yet to report for the start of the 49ers mandatory minicamp, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. Aiyuk is subject to fines for missing mandatory minicamp.

Aiyuk is coming off a career-best campaign, recording 1342 receiving yards to go along with 75 receptions and seven touchdown receptions. Aiyuk is likely the next star wide receiver in line to receive an extension. Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson, Miami’s Jaylen Waddle and Houston’s Nico Collins have all recently signed large contract extensions with their teams.
