49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk trade update is far from ideal amid failed relationship

49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk trade update is far from ideal amid failed relationship originally appeared on The Sporting News . Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here . The San Francisco 49ers and Brandon Aiyuk are just waiting for a divorce, as it's all but guaranteed that the former star wide receiver won't be in San Francisco for the remainder of his career.

The way things unfolded was certainly disappointing, and in a way, both sides are to blame. Ultimately, however, Aiyuk hasn't held up his end of the bargain, and as a result, the 49ers aren't very happy and are trying to trade him. Unfortunately, though, the 49ers understand that it might be difficult to find a trade partner, with general manager John Lynch being real about where the situation currently stands.

“#49ers GM John Lynch said he’s had trade discussions with teams on WR Brandon Aiyuk but acknowledged it’s not a high probability they find a taker. ‘We’ll see it through the draft — if something happens, great. If not, we’ll re-evaluate after,'” Ari Meirov wrote .

“Lynch confirmed again that Aiyuk has more than likely played his final snap with the organization. ” For the 49ers, the best outcome would be a team looking to trade for him on draft night. Even if they can get a decent mid-round pick, it's likely better to cut ties with him now rather than letting this situation unfold any longer.
