Matt Barrows on how the 49ers & Brandon Aiyuk can reach a deal

We are just over two weeks away from the San Francisco 49ers’ preseason opener, and Brandon Aiyuk still doesn’t have the contract he is looking for.

The Athletic’s Matt Barrows joined The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross on Monday morning to relay the latest on the Aiyuk talks, share his thoughts on Trent Williams’ holdout, and dive into some observations from the opening week of training camp.

Plus: Barrows lays out how San Francisco can inch closer to reaching agreements with its disgruntled duo.

Topics Discussed

• What is the latest on Brandon Aiyuk as he continues to hold out from participating in practices due to a contract dispute
• “The body language is good. It reminds me of Deebo Samuel’s contract situation from two years ago.”
• Barrows says that the vibe is positive and could be helpful towards a deal getting done
• Where is the divide in the Aiyuk-49ers negotiations?
• “They have made an offer of around $26 million per year.”
• Barrows thinks that an offer in the $28-30 million range could bring things closer to a deal
• When should people get a little bit more nervous about this situation?
• Trent Williams’ holdout continues
• “This could actually turn out to be something good for the 49ers… How much longer can they expect to have him?”
• More observations from training camp
