On Tuesday, Christian McCaffrey arrived at the 49ers’ mandatory minicamp and signed a new contract with the team. However, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk remains absent from the team’s facility despite being required to attend for their only mandatory work of the offseason.
According to Matt Maiocco of NBCSportsBayArea.com, Aiyuk has not reported to the team for any work throughout the voluntary phases of training and could face over $100,000 in fines if he misses another day. Despite this, there has been speculation about a potential trade involving Aiyuk during the offseason, but General Manager John Lynch has indicated that it is no longer being considered after the draft.
In addition to McCaffrey’s contract renewal, the 49ers recently extended Jauan Jennings. If nothing materializes with Aiyuk in the coming weeks, it is likely that a trade situation will change. It remains to be seen how the situation will unfold as we move further into the offseason.
