"What happened, man?" Daniels asked Aiyuk while watching one of the wide receiver's highlights during the 49ers' Week 11 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
"They said they don't want me back ... I swear," Aiyuk said in response.
Negotiations between Aiyuk and the 49ers appear to have stalled after San Francisco reportedly offered the star wide receiver a contract in the ballpark of $26 million annually, which is $2 million shy of Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's mark of $28 million per year, a threshold Aiyuk reportedly is targeting.
