San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has recently made it clear that he is fully committed to suiting up for the team, despite not yet agreeing on a contract extension. As Aiyuk enters the final season of his rookie deal, some fans have expressed concerns about the possibility of him being traded or failing to secure a long-term contract.

In a brief encounter with TMZ Sports at LAX Airport, Aiyuk confidently stated, "For sure, for sure!" when asked if he would be playing under head coach Kyle Shanahan again. This reassurance from the star wideout should alleviate some of the worries surrounding his future with the 49ers.

The 49ers organization, known for their consistent business model and strategic approach to contract negotiations, is unlikely to trade their top wide receiver before the start of the season. With the team being considered a strong contender for the Super Bowl, it would make little sense to part ways with a key player like Aiyuk in exchange for a draft pick.

While negotiations between Aiyuk and the 49ers may have hit a few bumps, the wide receiver has made it clear that he values his worth. Speaking on The Pivot podcast hosted by Ryan Clark, Aiyuk expressed his vision for himself and acknowledged that the team's financial constraints may impact their ability to meet his expectations. However, he emphasized that there are no hard feelings and expressed confidence in finding a team that values him if necessary.

Despite these concerns, Aiyuk's actions speak volumes about his loyalty to the 49ers. He recently met with the team, further proving his desire to remain in the Bay Area. Aiyuk's dedication and performance on the field last year have solidified his status as a player to build around, making the possibility of him signing a long-term extension more likely than not.

Both head coach Kyle Shanahan and General Manager John Lynch have praised Aiyuk and consider him to be an integral part of the team's identity. The relationship between player and team seems to be a perfect fit, and fans can take solace in the fact that Aiyuk's recent actions reflect his commitment to the 49ers.

As contract negotiations between Aiyuk and the 49ers continue, fans can rest assured that the wide receiver's reassurance and willingness to meet with the team signal his desire to remain in San Francisco. While the details of a potential extension have yet to be ironed out, the expectation is that Aiyuk's long-term future with the 49ers will ultimately be secured.
