Feels like the 49ers pissed Aiyuk off.
My understanding was they offered him around $26 million at one point this off-season and he declined.
What I don't understand is WHY he's pissed at them. He had a breakout in year 3 but took another big step forward in year 4. No, they didn't offer him a big extension after his 3rd year (hindsight that was a major mistake for them) but in so doing they did him a favor. He's worth a shitload more now than he'd have been had he signed after year 3.
And surely he's not cranky about them picking up his 5th year option - that was a no-brainer and every team in the league would've done it.
So when they came to him after year 4 and offered him a deal that puts him in the top 10 highest paid WRs - even if he decides that isn't enough - why the angst?
Because they absolutely could extend him and move on from Deebo after this year. But for whatever reason, he's just not interested.
