The ongoing situation between the 49ers and WR Brandon Aiyuk is set to continue as the NFL Draft concludes. Reports from Ian Rapoport indicate that Aiyuk will not play for the 49ers this season, and he may seek a connection with former college QB Jayden Daniels at the Commanders. 49ers GM John Lynch mentioned that Aiyuk is available for trade but acknowledged the odds of a deal are slim due to past issues. Aiyuk, who has a guaranteed $14.1 million option for 2024, has seen limited action this year, recording 23 receptions for 351 yards in seven games.
