For the second time in the previous five seasons, the San Francisco 49ers have lost the Super Bowl. The 49ers’ streak without a Super Bowl championship is now 29 years after their Sunday loss to the Kansas City Chiefs (again).
They had All-Pros at every offensive skill position, but they were unable to overcome the formidable Chiefs’ defence.
Even though quarterback Brock Purdy and the 49ers offence are still relatively young, there will undoubtedly be adjustments and difficult choices to be made throughout the summer.
When what they had was insufficient to prevail on the largest stage of the NFL, they cannot expect to stay stationary.
Moreover, Brandon Aiyuk, a wide receiver, would find it harder to make some judgments in light of what his girlfriend stated.
The girlfriend of Brandon Aiyuk claims he might not play for the 49ers again next season.
After registering 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns this season, Brandon Aiyuk was chosen to the Second Team All-Pro. The 49ers decided to execute his fifth-year option for 2024 before the 2023 season when he was still on a rookie deal.
However, it appears from Aiyuk’s girlfriend that their choice to utilize that option might not be sufficient to keep him in the Bay Area:
#49ers Aiyuk Brandon’s girlfriend: “We might not be here next season, so it might be the last time we set foot in Levi’s.”
“We might not be here next season, so it might be the last time we set foot in Levi’s.”
Her statement is intriguing because, as previously indicated, Aiyuk’s fifth-year option was accepted. Will the talented wide receiver attempt to press for a trade? He must have been aware of what she said because he was in the car with her when she recorded and uploaded the video.
At $14.1 million, his fifth-year option is worth more than he made in his first four years of professional baseball. It would also be reasonable to presume that he wouldn’t give up the opportunity to make that much money by waiting. However, if he is seeking a contract extension, it may help the 49ers clear some much-needed salary cap room.
This might be the result of being frustrated after losing the Super Bowl, but it’s something to keep an eye on as the offseason approaches.
