Brandon Aiyuk Indicates He Might be Unhappy on the 49ers
Brandon Aiyuk might want off the 49ers.
On Monday, the day after losing to the Chiefs in overtime of the Super Bowl, Aiyuk went on social media to express his displeasure with how the 49ers used him in the biggest game of the season. "Don't forget what got you there," Aiyuk wrote.
Then his brother went on social media to vent. "This is the exact reason why we leaving San Francisco," Aiyuk's brother wrote. "Thank you 49ers for drafting my brother we are forever grateful. BA to Vegas. Why does your All Pro 1,300 yard receiver have three catches in the Super Bowl?"
Then Aiyuk's girlfriend went on TikTok to vent: "This might be the last day we touch foot on Levi's Stadium because we might not be out here next season."
What a terrible look for the 49ers' young wide receiver after the biggest defeat of his career. He's supposed to be upset about his team losing the Super Bowl. Instead, he's upset about his stats in that game. How immature.
To be fair, he's going through a tremendously emotional time, plus he's got the stress of a contract negotiation coming up. He's not the first young wide receiver to lose patience during a contract negotiation.
It was only two years ago that Deebo Samuel requested a trade during the offseason when he was negotiating an extension with the 49ers -- they almost traded him during the draft that year. But they didn't, and they eventually worked things out with Samuel.
I assume the 49ers will work things out with Aiyuk, too.
Get ready for a dramatic offseason.
