Take a deep breath, 49ers fans… Brandon Aiyuk says that despite all the drama with his contract this offseason, he still wants to wear a San Francisco uniform in 2024.
The star – who is entering the final season of his rookie contract – made it clear to TMZ Sports at LAX on Friday that he is ready to suit up again for Kyle Shanahan …even though he and the team have yet to agree on a new extension.
“Absolutely,” Aiyuk told us at the airport. “Of course!”
Aiyuk was drafted first overall by the Niners in 2020… and after playing well in his first few years with the team, SF picked up his fifth-year option — meaning he’s set to play for around $14 million this season.
But with guys like Justin Jefferson It is Mount Tyreek earning over $30 million… Aiyuk told his team he would like a raise.
It doesn’t seem like he’s worrying too much right now… telling us, “I’m just enjoying it, man. I’m just enjoying it.”

As for the Pittsburgh cap he was wearing when he was spotted entering Levi’s Stadium this week, he told us not to pay it any mind… explaining that it was simply part of a gift he had received from the Pirates.
“Everyone can rest assured,” he said. “We have God on our side. Everyone can rest assured.”
