Commanders Eye Brandon Aiyuk for WR Need

The Washington commanders still need a solid number two wide receiver to pair with Terry

McLaren after some modest off-season additions.

They brought back Diamy Brown on a one-year deal and added Van Jefferson the same way.

Traylon Burke showed promise late in the season and Rookie's Jalen Lane and Luke McCaffrey

had flashes, but there's a big drop-off behind their star.

The ESPN analyst Bill Barnwell highlighted this gap in a recent piece, and suggested

targeting Brandon Ayyuk from the San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers have not cut Ayyuk yet, hoping for a trade after avoiding his guarantees due

to a rehab dispute.

He is owed $26.2 million next year, but none of it is guaranteed, so they face no pressure.

If released before week one, commander's general manager Adam Peters, a former 49ers

executive, could sign Ayyuk to a short-term deal at a discount.

It is risky with his knee injury history, but it might be their best shot at a proven

talent without a high draft pick.
