Brandon Aiyuk's Contract Details and Salary Breakdown
Contract Overview
Brandon Aiyuk, the talented wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, inked a lucrative four-year contract worth $12,531,342. The deal includes a substantial signing bonus of $6,673,704 and a guaranteed salary of $12,531,342.
Contract History and Future Outlook
Aiyuk's current contract extends through the 2024 NFL season, with a cap hit of $14.1 million for the upcoming year. His performance over the next three seasons will undoubtedly influence his next contract, which could potentially boost his average annual salary. As of now, Aiyuk's annual earnings under his current deal average just over $3 million. However, by the end of his contract in 2023, he will have accrued a total of $31,328,356.
Dead Cap Implications
When a player is released or traded before June 1st, any remaining dead cap balance on their contract, including guaranteed salary, accelerates into the team's cap for that year. Therefore, if the 49ers were to release or trade Aiyuk before June 1st of any given year, they would be responsible for absorbing the remaining dead cap hit for that season.
