ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said his “feeling” is that the 49ers will “probably not” be able to trade WR Brandon Aiyuk.

The 49ers voided Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees in November and will only be required to pay him if he remains on the roster on September 1st. Fowler said a trade is still possible, but questions remain about Aiyuk’s surgically repaired knee. He also has not spoken to the organization for some time. It’s an unfortunate situation that could drag on for a while.
