The San Francisco 49ers appear to be open to trading wideout Brandon Aiyuk, but they may only have until Tuesday to find a suitor according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Aiyuk signed a 4-year, $120 million contract extension with the 49ers prior to the 2024 season. He has a nearly $23 million bonus that is due on April 1.  Once the 49ers pay that bonus, any trade talks for Aiyuk would be off, and he would be expected to spend the 2025 season in San Francisco.

That sets up April 1 as the unofficial trade deadline for Aiyuk.  Another roadblock to a trade is that the 27-year-old is working his way back from a severe knee injury and may not be ready for Week 1 of the 2025 season.

A former first-round pick, Aiyuk had his best season in 2023 with 75 catches for 1,342 yards and 7 touchdowns. He then had just 25 catches in 7 games last year before suffering a torn ACL. Aiyuk held out for much of last offseason while he was seeking his new contract, which may have been a factor in his slow start.

The 49ers already made a significant change to their offense when they traded Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders. Some people in the organization reportedly regret giving Aiyuk a huge extension, but it sounds like San Francisco is stuck with the receiver for the foreseeable future.
