Brandon Aiyuk on this past season: ‘I figured out who I was as a person and a player’

The San Francisco 49ers enter another offseason where one of their star players wants to be compensated. Luckily for them, this is the second time in recent memory that they’ve gone through this with a wide receiver.

We’re a couple of years removed from Deebo Samuel requesting a trade to the New York Jets in late March. The Niners never pulled the trigger on a trade after failing to get an offer they deemed valuable enough for Deebo, and Samuel was extended just as training camp got underway on the final day of July 2022.
