Brandon Aiyuk Accepts $33.7 Million Deal To Dallas Cowboys

In a surprising turn of events, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has agreed to a lucrative deal with the Dallas Cowboys. The five-year contract, worth $33.7 million, solidifies Aiyuk’s position as a key offensive weapon for the Cowboys.

Aiyuk’s decision to join the Cowboys comes after intense negotiations. Despite the 49ers’ efforts to retain him, Aiyuk was drawn by the allure of playing alongside star quarterback Dak Prescott and joining a team with Super Bowl aspirations.

The deal includes performance incentives and guarantees, making it a significant investment for the Cowboys. Aiyuk’s explosive speed, route-running ability, and versatility will undoubtedly bolster their receiving corps.

For the 49ers, losing Aiyuk is a blow, but they remain committed to building around young quarterback Purdy. Deebo Samuel’s diminishing guaranteed payouts post-this season could open a window in 2025 for Aiyuk to secure his financial future with the team. Amidst this, Aiyuk’s current cap figure stands at $14.12 million under his fifth-year option; a hefty sum, yet modest relative to the payouts his fellow first-round peers from the 2020 draft received.
