So far, no such request has been made by Aiyuk or his representatives—that we know of.
While Aiyuk has unfollowed the 49ers on Instagram (h/t Jose Sanchez of SI), he continues to follow the team on X (formerly Twitter).
Aiyuk is under contract through the upcoming season, set to earn $14.124 million on a team-exercised fifth-year option. Ideally, both sides would prefer to reach a long-term deal before the receiver returns to the field.
Last month, general manager John Lynch told reporters that the 49ers are "actively talking" with Aiyuk—or his representatives—indicating that securing a long-term deal with their star player is a priority.
"There's a number of different directions that it could go, but we appreciate the heck out of Brandon and who he is as a player," Lynch said. "We want him to be a part of the Niners, so we're going to work towards making that a reality."
Lynch added, "We're talking with his guys, trying to talk about some parameters of some things. I'm not going to get into [the details]. I never do. But we're having discussions, and that's a good thing."
Despite swirling trade rumors, the 49ers maintain that no significant discussions with other teams have occurred.
"I promise you, nothing's going on there," Lynch affirmed.
During a recent appearance on "The Nightcap" podcast, Aiyuk stated, "I'm trying to get what I deserve. "I feel like this season, this season playing football, I figured out who I was as a person and a player—what I bring to the table, what I bring to the locker room, what I bring to the organization."
