49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk signs four-year, $12.53 million contract extension
Details of Aiyuk's new deal with the 49ers
Brandon Aiyuk has signed a four-year, $12.53 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers. The deal includes a $6.67 million signing bonus and $12.53 million guaranteed. Aiyuk is entering the final year of his rookie contract and was set to become a free agent in 2024. The new deal keeps him under contract with the 49ers through the 2027 season.
How Aiyuk's new contract compares to other wide receivers
Aiyuk's new contract is comparable to other wide receivers who have signed extensions in recent years. For example, Deebo Samuel signed a three-year, $73.5 million extension with the 49ers in July. Aiyuk's contract is also similar to the four-year, $12 million extension that Christian Kirk signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars in March. Aiyuk is a rising star in the NFL and is coming off a breakout season in 2022. He caught 82 passes for 1,056 yards and eight touchdowns. He also rushed for 258 yards and two touchdowns. Aiyuk is expected to be a key part of the 49ers' offense in the years to come.
