The details of Brandon Aiyuk’s lucrative four-year, $120 million contract have emerged.
Aiyuk will earn $46 million in guarantees over the life of the contract, with practical guarantees totaling up to $76 million, Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio reported Friday, citing a source familiar with the terms.
The All-Pro wide receiver is set to receive a $23 million signing bonus, with $11 million of that being paid out within two weeks and the rest being included in Aiyuk’s base salary for 2024.
Here’s what Aiyuk’s contract reportedly looks like, based on base salary, training bonus, squad bonus per game and option bonus:
Basic salary
2024 – 1.25 million US dollars
2025 – 1.17 million US dollars
2026 – 1.22 million US dollars

Florio’s report states that the 49ers can opt out of the contract after three years or $76 million, with the structure essentially varying from year to year after that.
After a lengthy standoff amid well-documented contract negotiations, Aiyuk finally received his lucrative payday, while the 49ers get one of their best players back in time to prepare for their Week 1 clash with the New York Jets on Monday Night Football in 10 days.
