Brandon Aiyuk and his agent are set to meet with team officials Friday, but the 49ers coach says he will not be paying attention.
Brandon Aiyuk is expected at the 49ers' practice facility by 3 p.m. Friday for a sit-down with team officials about his future with the franchise. Kyle Shanahan made it clear he is not losing sleep over it.
Asked about the meeting, the 49ers coach said simply, "I couldn't care less." Aiyuk will bring his agent along, and the discussion is meant to sort out where the wide receiver stands with the club.
Shanahan's comment leaves little doubt about his current posture toward the situation. Whatever gets discussed in that room, the coach is signaling he is content to let it play out without his personal investment, at least publicly.
For now the meeting itself is the news: Aiyuk, his agent, and 49ers officials in a room trying to figure out what comes next for a receiver whose standing with the team has become a talking point. No outcome has been reported yet.
