49ers GM: Aiyuk Trade Unlikely Before Draft

0:00It's April 20th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered football coverage. I'm Corey with the story. San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch says trading wide receiver brand in IUK before the 2026 NFL draft is not likely. He told reporters it's a low probability right now, but things could shift. After the 2025 season, Lynch made it clear IUK won't return to the team. Still, they're taking their time to find the perfect deal. That coach Kyle Shanahan echoed that it leaked meetings in Phoenix earlier this month. He said there's no set timeline, but they expect to get value for IUK eventually. Lynch doubled down on Monday, stressing the whole staff agrees on the plan. All eyes are on an eventual exit from San Francisco. As the draft kicks off this week, the Niners stay patient, lining up their next move without forcing a hand.
