Aiyuk, who is entering the final season of his rookie deal, told TMZ Sports at Los Angeles International Airport on Friday that he's ready to play for the 49ers although they have yet to agree on an extension.
For sure, Aiyuk told TMZ Sports. For sure!
Aiyuk added intrigue to his contract situation with the 49ers with a post to TikTok this month.
In the video, Aiyuk is talking via FaceTime with Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels, his former Arizona State teammate.
Aiyuk tells Daniels, "They said they don't want me back."
Daniels responds, "That's it?"
"I swear," Aiyuk said, prompting Daniels to shout, "My boy!"
It is unclear whether Aiyuk was implying the 49ers don't want him back for this season or is saying the 49ers don't want him beyond this season because they are unwilling to meet his demands on what would be a lucrative contract extension.
