Brandon Aiyuk's missed rehab sessions undermine Cowboys trade rumors

Brandon Aiyuk's history of missed rehab sessions and team conflicts makes recent trade rumors with the Dallas Cowboys implausible. Aiyuk, recovering from a severe knee injury, has not played since Week 7 of the 2024 season. His relationship with the San Francisco 49ers has deteriorated following his absence from mandatory rehab, leading to the voiding of a $24.9 million bonus. Reports suggest that the Cowboys are currently not pursuing Aiyuk due to his contract and injury history. Speculation placed Dallas' chances of acquiring Aiyuk at 21%, but that figure has since dropped below 1%.
