The San Francisco 49ers and Brandon Aiyuk proceed to be at a stalemate, and chances are high he is performed his final down for the organization.
Nonetheless, that does not imply they’ll simply lower ties with him and permit him to affix one other crew. As an alternative, the 49ers are nonetheless looking for him a trade suitor. And whereas that did not appear possible weeks in the past, it seems to be like there’s some rising curiosity in his providers.

“I’ve had some discussions,” Lynch said. “Do I believe it is a excessive likelihood? Seemingly no. However is there an opportunity? Yeah, I believe there’s an opportunity.”
Whereas that wasn’t essentially the most optimistic consequence, it is higher than what they echoed simply a few weeks in the past. Even so, they will not let a possible transaction dictate what they will do within the NFL Draft.
