The San Francisco 49ers are currently in a contract dispute with Brandon Aiyuk. Despite their efforts throughout the summer to secure an extension for the young receiver, an agreement has not yet been reached. Aiyuk’s potential asking price for a new deal could rise further, especially as other wide receivers around the league are signing significant contracts.

Ian Rapaport discussed the impact of DJ Moore’s recent extension on Brandon Aiyuk during NFL Network’s Inside Training Camp Live earlier today.

“Receivers like Brandon Aiyuk, who are still seeking new deals, might view DJ Moore’s $27 million extension as a benchmark,” Rapaport noted. “This could reinforce Aiyuk’s argument that he deserves a deal in the $27-$28 million range rather than around $25 million. It’s a positive development for DJ Moore and other receivers.”

It remains to be seen if Moore’s extension will influence Aiyuk’s contract negotiations.

One way to gauge the impact could be if Aiyuk signs a deal similar to Moore’s in the near future. Another approach would be to compare the terms of any future extension for Aiyuk with Moore’s, focusing on the average annual value.

Overall, DJ Moore’s new contract marks another step in raising the market value for NFL wide receivers, which is beneficial for any receiver negotiating a new deal in the coming years.
