The chances of the San Francisco 49ers trading star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk prior to the start of the 2024 season are reportedly considered low across the NFL.

Speaking Saturday on SportsCenter, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler said the Niners have “not shown a willingness” to trade Aiyuk or reward him with a big contract extension:

“From what I’m hearing, he’s going to have an uphill battle to get traded, because the 49ers have just not shown a willingness to want to do that. One source told me that he wants to either be traded or paid, the 49ers have shown a willingness to do neither. Now, they want to pay him, the context is market value, they don’t want to get up to that $30 million range that he feels he’s earned. He’s a top-10 receiver now, Amon-Ra St. Brown in Detroit got a deal for around $30 million per year, so that’s just where the market has headed for these guys who put up 1,300-1,400 yards a year.”

ESPN’s Adam Schefter (h/t ESPN’s Nick Wagoner) reported earlier this week that Aiyuk requested a trade due to the fact that there has been no progress in contract talks with the 49ers.

However, Schefter added that the Niners have told interested teams they have no plans to trade Aiyuk.
