Brandon Aiyuk's future with 49ers uncertain amidst trade rumors
Summary

Brandon Aiyuk's status with the San Francisco 49ers remains unclear as speculation about his future intensifies. Reports indicate that Aiyuk could have played his final game with the team, following his decision to cut off communication and not visit the team facility. General manager John Lynch has signaled that Aiyuk's tenure with the 49ers is likely ending, though it appears a trade may not be feasible. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler noted Aiyuk is viewed as 'untradeable' due to his recent injury history and contract situation. With the June 1 deadline approaching, it is increasingly likely that the team will opt to release him instead of seeking a trade.
