Rochelle Searight, the girlfriend of San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, made some cryptic comments about his future with the team following the club’s heartbreaking Super Bowl 58 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Searight posted a video on her TikTok account and hinted at Aiyuk potentially leaving San Francisco after this season, even though the 2020 first-round pick is under contract for one more season.
“Okay, this might have been the last day we touch foot on Levi’s Stadium, me and Braylon (their son), because we might not be out here next season,” Searight said.
Aiyuk himself has also made mysterious comments on social media, writing “Don’t forget what got you there” on his Instagram story.
Aiyuk only had three receptions in Super Bowl 58, but they went for 49 yards. Otherwise, it was a relatively quiet game from the 49ers’ leading receiver of 2023.

With Deebo Samuel missing some of the game due to a hamstring injury, it was imperative for Aiyuk and the other 49ers pass-catchers to produce. Instead, only running back Christian McCaffrey remained a consistent receiving threat, with eight catches for 80 yards and a touchdown.
The 25-year-old Aiyuk had a career year in 2023, recording 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns. This marked the second straight year where Aiyuk had at least 70-catchees, over 1,000 yards receiving and at least seven touchdowns.
He has certainly earned a lucrative long-term contract extension. Now we wait and see if it will come from the 49ers this very offseason.
