Aiyuk has reported to the team despite his desire to be traded.
The 26-year-old wide receiver has expressed his discontent with the Niners all offseason. Coming off a season where he had 75 catches for 1,342 yards and 7 touchdowns, Aiyuk has sought a bigger contract.
Aiyuk is in the final year of his rookie contract and set to make just over $14 million this season. The former first-round draft pick is facing $40,000 in fines for every day of training camp he misses, which helps explains why he showed up for camp despite his dissatisfaction with his contract situation.
