""Unfortunately for the 49ers, they were put in a horrible spot without him. That's something the organization is currently dealing with, though it will certainly result in a trade in the near future.""
""The 49ers have made it somewhat clear that they don't plan to trade Aiyuk before the draft, and there are many reasons why. Not only would they be put in a better situation cap-wise, but there's not really much of a reason to help the guy out after he didn't show up last year.""
""Aiyuk's salary-cap hits over the final three years of his deal are large. The serious knee injury that saw him miss the entire 2025 campaign cannot be overlooked. The risks outweigh the rewards, no matter how much quarterback Jayden Daniels wants his close friend on board.""
The Washington Commanders are linked to wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, who is under contract with the San Francisco 49ers. General manager Adam Peters has insight into the situation but faces limitations. The 49ers are waiting for a trade suitor, with no urgency to act before Aiyuk's roster bonus deadline. Analysts suggest a trade before the draft is improbable, and the 49ers may prefer to retain Aiyuk due to salary-cap considerations and past performance issues. Aiyuk's significant salary-cap hits and injury history complicate potential trade discussions.
