Brandon Aiyuk Wants a New Contract But Might Try and Force His Way Out With the San Francisco 49ers
Aiyuk wants a new contract, but it appears as if the 49ers may not want to pay up for the star wide receiver. Last season with San Francisco, he caught 75 passes for 1,342 yards receiving, and seven touchdowns. Brandon Aiyuk also averaged 17.9 yards per reception and was targeted 105 times.
The Washington Commanders have no plans to upgrade the receiver room before NFL training camp, but you never know. Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson will be the top receiving options in Washington. However, the Commanders could trade for Brandon Aiyuk and get Jayden Daniels his star wide receiver right away.
General manager Adam Peters was in the San Francisco 49ers front office last season. He was the right-hand man to 49ers general manager Jon Lynch. Aiyuk has been mentioned in NFL trade rumors all NFL offseason long.
There could be a lot of speculation with him hanging out with Daniels. It could also mean nothing, but to say this is a non-story is irrelevant. Aiyuk trade speculations will continue throughout NFL training camp and it will be more interesting to see if it would be Washington or someone else who gets him.
