The San Francisco 49ers are facing contract negotiations with two key players: wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and tackle Trent Williams. As the regular season approaches, fans are eager for updates on their status, especially with the team’s final preseason game coming up soon.
NFL insider Albert Breer has suggested that the 49ers could finalize contracts for both players by Labor Day weekend. This timeline would be just a week before the season opener against the New York Jets at Levi’s Stadium.
“I’d say Labor Day weekend is a fair target,” Breer wrote in his mailbag feature . “I do think both of them get taken care of.”
General manager John Lynch has acknowledged the ongoing discussions, emphasizing the importance of both players to the team’s success. Aiyuk is looking to secure a lucrative deal, aiming to be among the highest-paid receivers in the league. Meanwhile, Williams, who has not reported to training camp, is seeking a restructured contract that likely includes guaranteed money.
