The San Francisco 49ers are coming off one of their best seasons in recent memory, as the team led by a second-year quarterback was able to go the distance and reach the Super Bowl with a chance to win it’s sixth title.
Although Brock Purdy and company seemed ready to play in the big game in Las Vegas, Nevada, at Allegiant Stadium, the storied franchise fell short against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who became the first team to win back-to-back titles since Tom Brady’s New England Patriots.
With the 49ers going home empty-handed once again, the team’s brass has some work to do during the NFL offseason to keep this talented squad relatively intact and remain a legitimate title contender in the NFC.
One player whose future in San Francisco seems to be up in the air at the moment, even though general manager John Lynch has openly said the team intends to sign him to a contract extension, is star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
During the process of coming to terms on a new deal or potentially getting traded elsewhere, Aiyuk has been stoking the fire on social media with cryptic tweets, as he did on Monday via 49ers on NBCS.

If Lynch is true to his word, Aiyuk will eventually get a new lucrative long-term deal and secure his future in San Francisco while remaining an important piece to the championship puzzle for the 49ers.
However, anything can happen in this game during the offseason, meaning Aiyuk could get traded, which has led to a lot of speculation recently.
