Report: Aiyuk reporting to 49ers camp amid contract dilemma originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

It appears Brandon Aiyuk will make his return to 49ers practice this week.

After holding out of the team’s OTA and mandatory minicamp practices earlier this offseason as he continues negotiating a lucrative contract extension with the team, Aiyuk will report to the start of training camp on Tuesday in Santa Clara, NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo reported Tuesday, citing sources.

After months of negotiations yielding little progress, Aiyuk reportedly requested a trade from the 49ers on July 16 and the team reportedly has no intention of moving the star wide receiver.

Aiyuk has been vocal directly and indirectly this offseason about his displeasure with his ongoing situation but made it clear he expects to play for San Francisco during the 2024 NFL season.

However, things change quickly and if an interested team comes calling with a trade offer that piques the 49ers’ interest, both general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan repeatedly have stated their desire to listen to offers for any player on their roster.
