Brandon Aiyuk Trade Rumors Heat Up

NFL Insider Reports Multiple Teams Interested

According to The Athletic's Matt Barrows, the trade market for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is heating up. Barrows reports that multiple teams have reached out to the 49ers to inquire about Aiyuk's availability.

Contract Negotiations at a Standstill

This news comes after months of stagnant contract negotiations between Aiyuk and the 49ers. Aiyuk is reportedly seeking a significant pay raise, and the two sides have been unable to come to an agreement. As a result, Aiyuk formally requested a trade on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Aiyuk, a talented pass-catcher, has emerged as one of the 49ers' most important offensive weapons in recent years. However, his trade request indicates a rift between the player and the team, and it remains to be seen if the 49ers will grant his wish.
