Lynch: Aiyuk Trade Unlikely, But Not Off The Table

0:00On April 20th, the 2026 NFL Draft first round hits April 23rd, and San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch is deep in trade. Talks. He's always wheeling and dealing from player contracts to potential swaps, and he just faced the local media on all the offseason buzz. Lynch zeroed in on wide receiver Brandon Ayuk, saying there's not a high chance he gets moved this week. Still, he left the door cracked open. If a team comes with the right offer, anything could happen. Ayukes locked into the second year of his four year 120 million dollar contract, carrying a 16,600,000 dollar cap hit in 2026. He missed every snap last season, which has folks questioning the value. Some argue it's way too steep for a guy who sat out, but the 49ers believe he can still produce big if he gets healthy and stays that way. With the draft looming, Lynch and the team are staying flexible on moves like this one. Keep an eye on those phones ringing. Stay locked in with NFL News Today, AI-powered updates.
