In the wake of Deebo Samuel’s trade to the Washington Commanders, speculation mounts that fellow San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk could also be on the move. General Manager John Lynch confirmed that the team is fielding calls regarding Aiyuk’s availability, a move that could reshape their receiving corps.

“Yeah, that typically happens with really good players,” Lynch noted, indicating that discussions around Aiyuk are both common and prudent for teams looking to maximize their roster potential.

This offseason, Aiyuk remains an intriguing prospect. Selected by the 49ers with the No. 25 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Aiyuk has proven to be a reliable target, showcasing his prowess in previous seasons. However, uncertainty looms over his value in light of last season’s knee injury, raising questions about his future with the team.

As teams approach the offseason with clear needs at wide receiver, eyes will be on Aiyuk and his potential landing spots.
