Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is expected to remain with the team on Tuesday, which grants him a $22.85 million bonus, ESPN reported.
Per the report, Aiyuk is not expected to be traded before Tuesday. He will remain with San Francisco for the 2025 season once the bonus has been paid.
The 49ers traded wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders on March 1 in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick.
Aiyuk, 27, recorded 25 catches for 374 yards and no touchdowns in seven games before his season ended after sustaining an ACL and MCL injury in his right knee against the Kansas City Chiefs on Oct. 20.
A second-team All-Pro selection in 2023, Aiyuk staged an offseason holdout before accepting a four-year, $120 million contract extension in late August.
Aiyuk has 294 receptions for 4,305 yards and 25 touchdowns in 69 career games (67 starts) since the 49ers selected him with the 25th overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft.
