Report: Aiyuk meeting with 49ers
Disgruntled wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is meeting with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday, ESPN's Ryan Clark reports.
The reported meeting comes amid a tense contract standoff between the sides as Aiyuk enters the final season of his rookie deal.
Recent reports indicated contract negotiations between Aiyuk and San Francisco had stalled.
The 26-year-old raised eyebrows last week when he posted a TikTok in which he tells Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, "They said they don't want me back."
Aiyuk also didn't attend the team's mandatory minicamp earlier in June.
He's reportedly targeted Amon-Ra St. Brown's four-year, $120.01-million deal as the benchmark for his next pact.
The lagging contract negotiations led to buzz that the 49ers had shopped Aiyuk at the 2024 NFL Draft, though general manager John Lynch reiterated his commitment to the wideout following the event.
Aiyuk hauled in 75 passes for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns last season.
