ESPN's Jeremy Fowler discusses the potential of San Francisco 49ers' wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk playing on his fifth-year option, valued at $14.1 million, as he seeks a new contract. The risks of underperformance and injury weigh heavy on Aiyuk, but Fowler suggests that playing out the 2024 NFL season could lead to a bigger payday in free agency in 2025. Aiyuk's connection with quarterback Brock Purdy and his desire for a pay raise present challenges in negotiations with the 49ers, with Fowler comparing Aiyuk's potential salary to that of Amon-Ra St. Brown instead of Justin Jefferson's recent record-breaking deal.
