49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk Expected to Be Traded Before New Contract
Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has reportedly emerged as a potential trade candidate for the San Francisco 49ers.
Sources indicate that the 49ers are more likely to trade Aiyuk than sign him to a new contract, with several teams expressing interest in acquiring the talented receiver.
Aiyuk, a former first-round pick in 2020, has shown flashes of brilliance during his time with the 49ers. However, a combination of injuries and inconsistent performances have hindered his ability to fully establish himself as a top target in the team's offense.
With the 49ers facing a salary cap crunch and a need to address other positions, they may be willing to part ways with Aiyuk in order to free up financial resources and acquire additional assets. Several NFL teams are believed to be intrigued by Aiyuk's potential and are monitoring his situation.
Aiyuk's departure would mark a significant change for the 49ers, who have been searching for a reliable deep threat complement to star receiver Deebo Samuel. However, the team's front office may believe that they can find a suitable replacement for Aiyuk through free agency or the NFL Draft.
