Brandon Aiyuk is still not traded and remains tied to the San Francisco 49ers as they wait for a trade offer. The Washington Commanders are linked to the situation, with reports indicating Aiyuk wants to join them, but San Francisco is not making it easy. The 49ers are expected to eventually move on from Aiyuk, potentially close to Week 1, but the timing is uncertain. Aiyuk’s limited recent playing time raises concerns about his health, recovery, and motivation. His radio silence and reluctance to discuss contract renegotiation with other clubs further complicate predictions about his next destination. Washington has not revealed much beyond public comments from its general manager.
"We really don't know what kind of shape Brandon Aiyuk is in. The fact that he didn't really play last season is obviously a red flag. He was a great receiver two or three years ago [and] was an All-Pro-caliber receiver. He was excellent. He's really a terrific player. "But until we see what kind of shape he's in and how motivated he is to play football, it's hard to peg him to a destination. The only thing we know definitively, is that he won't be a 49er next season.""
"Nobody knows what's going on behind the scenes. The Niners are dug in, but everyone knows they'll have to release Aiyuk at some stage. That might not be until just before Week 1, but it'll happen eventually. Commanders must confront awkward Brandon Aiyuk questions before making their move"
"Aiyuk reportedly wants to join the Commanders, but San Francisco won't make it easy. Unless general manager Adam Peters has a change of heart and trades for the wideout, it's a waiting game. And with fans already getting bored, rumors are turning to other targets."
