Breaking Down the Contract Conundrum: Brandon Aiyuk’s Goal to Beat Amon-Ra St. Brown’s Contract Amount

Brandon Aiyuk has caught the attention of the 49ers after wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown signed a contract with the Lions this offseason. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Aiyuk’s goal is to beat St. Brown’s contract amount or come in at a number that is even higher.

St. Brown’s contract details show that he is making $28 million a year over three years. While Aiyuk is reportedly looking to secure a deal in that range, or possibly higher, it is important to note that the initial reports about St. Brown’s contract were not as favorable as they seemed at first glance.

If the 49ers are not willing to offer Aiyuk a contract that surpasses what St. Brown received, he would have to decide between accepting a lesser contract or playing out the current season on his $14.1 million base salary. After 2025, he could then become a free agent and choose whether to be franchise tagged by the 49ers, negotiate a long-term deal, or walk away from the team.

Overall, while Aiyuk may be motivated by beating St. Brown’s contract amount, it remains to be seen if he will actually achieve this goal or if he will ultimately have to settle for less than what he was hoping for.

In conclusion, wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown’s signing with the Lions has attracted attention from other teams such as the 49ers and their star player Brandon Aiyuk who wants to beat his contract amount or come in at an even higher number. However, there are reports suggesting that initial reports about his contract were not as favorable as they seemed at first glance and it remains uncertain if he will achieve his goal of beating it or if he will have to settle for less than what he wanted.
