AYIUK DETONATES: “I’m Not Deebo’s Backup — I’m WR1, Pay Me Like It!”

The storm in Santa Clara just turned nuclear.

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is reportedly furious after the 49ers front office refused to meet his asking price, and insiders say he “snapped” after a tense exchange with position coach Leonard Hankerson during Tuesday’s practice.

“I’m not Deebo’s shadow. I’m WR1 now. You want flashes or full fire?” Aiyuk allegedly shouted, tossing his gloves and storming off the field.

This comes after weeks of whispers that Aiyuk is being lowballed — even as he carried the offense down the stretch last season. The drama reached a boiling point when teammates, including QB Brock Purdy, reportedly tried to calm him down, only to get caught in the crossfire.

“Respect is earned,” Aiyuk barked. “But payment proves it.”

Sources close to the team claim the locker room is now “split”, with some players backing Aiyuk’s push and others warning the distraction could derail their Super Bowl ambitions.
