The details of Brandon Aiyuk’s lucrative four-year, $120 million contract have emerged.
Aiyuk will earn $46 million in full guarantees over the life of the contract, with practical guarantees reaching $76 million, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reported Friday, citing a source with knowledge of the terms.
The All-Pro wide receiver reportedly will receive a $23 million signing bonus, with $11 million distributed within two weeks, and the remainder packaged with Aiyuk’s 2024 base salary.
Here is how Aiyuk’s contract reportedly is broken down based on base salary, workout bonus, per-game roster bonus and option bonus:

Florio’s report states that the 49ers can opt-out of the deal after three-years, $76 million, with the structure essentially being year to year beyond that.
After a prolonged standoff amid well documented contract negotiations, Aiyuk finally received his lucrative pay day, while the 49ers return one of their best players in time to prepare for their Week 1 showdown against the New York Jets on “Monday Night Football,” in 10 days.
