Brandon Aiyuk sends clear message to San Francisco 49ers as Kansas City Chiefs Eye $23 Million Shift for Patrick Mahomes (Image via Getty) The Kansas City Chiefs might be planning something big before the 2025 NFL season begins. On June 16, 2025, reports started coming out that the team could go after San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He's looking for a long-term deal, possibly worth $23 million per year. Such a move could potentially create a lot of avenues for the Kansas City Chiefs' offense and give quarterback Patrick Mahomes another powerful weapon. Nothing is done yet, but each day is bringing this closer. Fans are enjoying what will emerge next. Brandon Aiyuk could be the star Patrick Mahomes needs Brandon Aiyuk, 26, was a big part of the San Francisco 49ers' offense, compiling a 2023 season where he notched 75 catches, 1,342 yards, and 7 touchdowns in his statistically best season as a professional. Brandon Aiyuk is fast, trustworthy, and consistently finds ways to beat defenders — in other words, he's the type of option Patrick Mahomes could use more of. The Kansas City Chiefs have not had a true top wide receiver since Tyreek Hill left town. On June 16, 2025, Brandon Aiyuk posted a short video on TikTok saying, 'They don't want me back,' referring to the 49ers. That same day, ESPN's Adam Schefter said on NFL Live, 'If Brandon Aiyuk is truly available, the Chiefs will absolutely be in the mix.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트 29만원 이벤트 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo Brandon Aiyuk is in the final year of his rookie contract, with a $14 million option. He wants a raise — close to $23 million a year. If the Kansas City Chiefs want to help Patrick Mahomes even more, this could be their chance. According to The Athletic, the team still has around $25 million in cap space. That gives them enough room to make the deal work if they want to. Patrick Mahomes has been waiting for a big-play receiver This offseason, Patrick Mahomes has been training in Missouri with a young group of wide receivers. Most of them are still learning, and while they've shown potential, none of them have the star power that Brandon Aiyuk brings. A player like Brandon Aiyuk could alleviate pressure on Patrick Mahomes, and make the Kansas City Chiefs' offense much more dynamic. Training camp will start towards the end of July 2025. If a deal ever occurs before that, the team could go into the season with a brand new weapon ready to go.

NFL Insider Adam Schefter says the Cincinnati Bengals are taking too long to act on their first-round pick Shemar Stewart
(Image via Getty: Shemar Stewart) Detailing the contract issues between Shemar Stewart and the Cincinnati Bengals became a huge topic of discussion at ESPN's NFL Live session. The session was hosted by Laura Rutledge, an American reporter for ESPN. The discussion was titled 'Shemar Stewart left Bengals minicamp with a rookie contract still unsigned.' Rutledge added an opening line to it, 'Shemar Stewart, who they drafted to bolster their D-line, had been there. He's now left in the midst of a contract dispute.' But before NFL Insider Adam Schefter could step in, Rutledge played a video clip of Bengals head coach Zac Taylor. Just to give more fodder for this huge topic of discussion! Detailing the contract issues between Shemar Stewart and Bengals | NFL Live Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor understands the frustration caused by the rookie defensive end Shemar Stewart in the locker room Since Shemar Stewart did not show up for the final day of the mandatory minicamp, Bengals coach Zac Taylor was asked about him on June 13, 'I think for all the rookies, you'd like them to be on the field, but certainly, there's things that happen over the course of an NFL career, and this is one of them right now. He's been in the meetings. He's been positive that way. He's been learning. He's been a good learner, and we look forward to getting him back on the field quickly. There's education that happens with all the rookies, and we do our best to educate them. Number one, we wanna protect our team in our locker room. So I understand when there's frustration there, but that's how he chose to do it, and that's his prerogative, and we look forward to getting him back in the field.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo NFL Insider Adam Schefter says Shemar Stewart hesitated and refused to sign an injury waiver , which most rookies just go out and sign as it protects them in the event of an injury at a minicamp Laura Rutledge asked the NFL Insider, 'Adam, what more can you tell us about Shemar Stewart's contract talks?' 'This is an unusual situation. It should not be difficult to get a deal done with a rookie first-round draft picking. In this particular case, for various reasons, it is. We start out with the fact that the Bengals are trying to get language, but they haven't had in their contracts before that other teams have used that would void guarantees if, essentially, he got cut at some point during his career. Also, Shemar Stewart has hesitated and refused to sign an injury waiver, which most rookies just go out and sign that protects them in the event of an injury at a minicamp. So, he hasn't signed the waiver.' Adam Schefter stresses the fact that the Cincinnati Bengals are taking too long to sign a relatively simple first-round draft pick Adam Schefter, American Sports Writer and Reporter, says the Bengals' drawn-out contract process of Shemar Stewart has led to Stewart leaving the mandatory minicamp. 'They've asked for language that other teams have used that they haven't used before, and it's led to a situation where today, Shemar Stewart removed himself from the mandatory minicamp. When some would have wondered why he was there even to begin with, being that he hadn't signed his contract or signed the waiver. So, this whole situation has gotten more and more muddled as it has gone along and shows no signs of ending soon. Despite the fact that it should be relatively simple to sign a first-round draft pick.'
