  Brandon Aiyuk’s 5 most likely landing spots

  It’s unusual for a player as good as Aiyuk to be available, if he will actually be available. If Aiyuk moves, it’s a rare season-shifting move in mid-to-late July.

  Here are the five most likely landing spots. We start with the 49ers, then it gets fun.

  Brandon Aiyuk has grown into a great WR with 49ers

  Brandon Aiyuk, 26, has been with the Niners his entire career. They drafted him with the 25th overall pick in 2020, and he’s produced for them. He has 269 receptions for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns for San Francisco over his four-year career. Aiyuk has managed to find a way to materially improve his game every single season, but he took a huge jump forward when Brock Purdy ascended to the starting quarterback position in 2022.

  In Aiyuk’s first two seasons with the Niners, which were Purdy-free, he tallied 118 receptions for 1,574 yards and 10 touchdowns. But in his two most recent seasons, in which Aiyuk had Purdy slinging passes his way, he tallied 153 receptions for 2,357 yards and 15 touchdowns.

  Could Brandon Aiyuk’s potential holdout prove costly under the fifth-year option?

  Regarding Aiyuk and the #49ers– the leverage is held by SF in a case like this. 5th year option players are subject to fines for missing camp as well as preseason games. I believe its $40K per day and about $785K for each preseason game.

  Report: 49ers have told teams they don’t intend to trade Brandon Aiyuk

  Will Brandon Aiyuk’s 49ers request end up like Deebo Samuel?

  Brandon Aiyuk is under contract for a little more than $14 million this season. The #49ers survived a trade request from Deebo Samuel. We’ll see if they can find their way through this one from Aiyuk. https://t.co/jKpRuBqOkJ
