US Edition49ers struggle to find Aiyuk trade partner ahead of bonus deadline: report
- On March 30, 2025, ESPN reported that the San Francisco 49ers are unlikely to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk before his $22.85MM roster bonus is due on Tuesday, April 1.
- The 49ers have salary cap constraints and traded Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders for a fifth-round pick on March 1, leading to speculation about Aiyuk's future with the team.
- Despite reports of trade discussions with several teams, including potential interest from the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns, Aiyuk, who was a second-team All-Pro in 2023, is expected to remain with the 49ers for the 2025 season once the bonus is paid, although a late deal could materialize.
- According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Aiyuk, who signed a four-year, $120 million extension last year and is recovering from ACL and MCL tears in his right knee sustained on Oct 20, 2024, during a game against the Kansas City Chiefs at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, is making good progress in his recovery, according to Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
- While Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported trade interest in Aiyuk, Schefter believes that due to his expensive contract and recent injury, there hasn't been significant external interest, and the 49ers are likely to retain Aiyuk through the 2025 season if no offer materializes in the next two days.
