The San Francisco 49ers have had a whirlwind of a week when it comes to rumors, as wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was initially believed to have requested a trade before his agent debunked the buzz on social media.
Following that, Philadelphia Eagles receiver Devonta Smith earned a three-year, $75 million extension that involves $51 million in guaranteed money, setting the baseline for an Aiyuk contract that the 49ers have tried to accomplish over the past few months.
In potentially paying their top receiver a hefty extension, the 49ers are looking to capitalize on their current championship window after falling just short in the playoffs once again this past season.
