## Resource

Brandon Aiyuk’s contract standoff with the 49ers has sparked league-wide debate, especially after the team voided guaranteed money due to his injury and missed rehab. Tight end George Kittle, drawing from his own seven-month negotiation saga, is now advising Aiyuk to view contract talks like getting braces—painful but necessary for long-term gain. Kittle, who turned his early career struggles into a Pro Bowl legacy, urges players to stay businesslike and avoid emotional traps, reminding them that holding out can backfire. With Kittle’s wisdom now in Aiyuk’s ear, the hope is that perspective can help resolve the impasse. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
