Washington Commanders will not actively pursue a trade for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The decision stems from the Commanders' unwillingness to part with draft capital amid concerns surrounding Aiyuk’s contract and his commitment to the game. Aiyuk may only be considered by Washington if he becomes a free agent.
