49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has not requested a trade, despite reports suggesting otherwise. According to his agent Ryan Williams of Athletes First, Aiyuk is seeking a contract extension as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. Despite any tension between the team and the player, all options are still on the table for negotiations.
Aiyuk had an impressive season last year, recording 75 catches for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns, further solidifying his value to the team. However, recently he unfollowed the team on social media, signaling some dissatisfaction with the situation.
The 49ers have expressed interest in negotiating a new contract with Aiyuk rather than exploring a trade. As talks progress between Aiyuk and the team regarding a contract extension, it remains to be seen how the situation will unfold.
Despite any reported tension or rumors of wanting to be traded, Aiyuk is focused on continuing to contribute to the team’s success. Both parties are working towards a resolution that benefits everyone involved.
