After maintaining since the NFL draft in April that the organization did not intend to move Aiyuk, the 49ers engaged in trade talks in early August with other teams regarding its leading receiver, according to multiple reports.

San Francisco even had the framework of swaps in place with the New England Patriots and Cleveland Browns, but Aiyuk was not interested in joining either team, per multiple reports.

The Pittsburgh Steelers emerged as the most likely destination for Aiyuk had he and the 49ers been unable to resolve their differences in negotiations.

With his new deal sealed, however, the 2020 first-round pick out of Arizona State gets to remain with the organization under which he has blossomed, and he receives the pay bump – and long-term security – he had been eager to obtain.

In an interview earlier in August on KNBR, Lynch said the inability to close on an agreement had been “frustrating” but there was no “bad blood” on either side.

But the 49ers, who famously have waited deep into August and even September to close extensions with several of their stars in recent years, began to feel differently about their timeline.

“I’m always hopeful,” Lynch said. “I’m an optimistic person (by) nature, and so I’m always hopeful that we get there and get there soon.

I can tell you we feel the urgency to have him. The season is approaching.”
