Why the 49ers have a better chance of keeping Brandon Aiyuk this offseason

There seem to be daily updates about Brandon Aiyuk's contract as we approach the free agency. Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans was thought to have an impact on the receiver market, but the soon-to-be 31-year-old isn’t apples to apples when you look at Aiyuk’s situation.

Evans signed a two-year deal worth $52 million, including $35 million guaranteed. That’s not the deal the San Francisco 49ers should be looking to get out in front of. Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb, other prominent receivers from the 2020 NFL Draft, are also in line for extensions.
