Aiyuk Trade Talks Heat Up: 49ers, Commanders in Deadlock

0:00It's April 24th. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The brand and IU trade talk is heating up again as the 2026 NFL draft rolls on for the San Francisco 49ers and the Washington, Commanders, the team most linked to him, draft picks fly around like crazy during the actual draft, making it prime time to swab assets since everyone's got a clear read on their value. The 49ers have zero rush to move him with no guaranteed cash left on his deal, so they're chilling for the right offer. Commanders see big risks though, especially after he sat out the whole season, questioning his headspace and if he's worth giving up picks. It's a deadlock right now, with a day 3 deal like a sixth rounder feeling slim, but this could drag on for months before anything pops. Keep eyes peeled on these two squads.
