49ers Secure Brandon Aiyuk with $120M Extension, Prepare for Season Opener

San Francisco's star receiver stays put after near trade to Steelers, while team strategizes snap counts for key players.

Brandon Aiyuk agreed to a four-year, $120 million extension after nearly being traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan gave Aiyuk an ultimatum to decide his future by the end of a practice session.
Aiyuk and left tackle Trent Williams both resolved contract issues but may see limited snaps in the season opener against the Jets.
Williams is expected to play a full game, while Aiyuk's workload will be monitored closely.
Quarterback Brock Purdy and Aiyuk have been working extra hours to regain their on-field chemistry.
