Aiyuk's Future Uncertain, 49ers Consider Trade

0:00It's April 20th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is NFL News today. Football News powered by AI. San Francisco 49ers General Manager John Lynch declared back in January that wide receiver Brandon Ayuk had taken his last snap with the team. Yet here we are, more than a month into the 2026 league year, and Ayuk is still on the roster. Lynch updated his stance recently, emitting he's had some talks about the situation. He put the odds low, saying it's probably not happening, but he left the door cracked open with a real chance still in play. Ayuk sat out the entire 2025 season after tearing his ACL the year before in 2024. Things got messy when he skipped team rehab sessions, leading the 49ers to void the rest of his contract guarantees. That move took the pressure off for an instant roster cut since there's no big financial hit anymore. Now they're eyeing a trade before this week's draft wraps up, or they might have to pull the trigger another way. Looks like the saga ain't over yet.
