Amidst recent calm, tensions between Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers surge again, hinting at potential changes ahead.

Last month, the wide receiver raised eyebrows with a message to Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, fueling trade rumors.

Now, Aiyuk's social media activity adds fuel to the fire. Fans noticed his Instagram unfollow of the 49ers, sparking speculation of discontent or imminent moves.

With Aiyuk entering the final year of his contract, tension mounts as he seeks a deserved extension after a stellar 2023 season. Despite leading the team in key stats, playoff performance faltered, leaving contract talks in limbo.


The 26-year-old's aspirations for a lucrative deal collide with the team's apparent reluctance, raising questions about his future in San Francisco.

Aiyuk's standout 2023 campaign underscores his value, but unresolved contract negotiations cloud his tenure with the 49ers.
