NFL News: Reports: 49ers grant WR Brandon Aiyuk permission to seek trade

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk received permission from the 49ers to seek a trade, a significant development signaling contract talks are unlikely to be resolved with the 26-year-old in San Francisco.

According to multiple reports, the 49ers cleared the way for Aiyuk to negotiate with other teams — a precursor to the teams working out trade terms with the 49ers — two weeks after general manager John Lynch attempted to tamp down trade talks involving the New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns.

NBC Sports reported Monday night that the 49ers have the framework of trades with multiple teams in place, but did not mention the Steelers.

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo declined to comment on the reports Tuesday after practice.

“I know what all you guys want to know,” Mayo said of the Aiyuk rumors. “One thing I did learn from Bill [Belichick] is I don’t talk about players on other teams. So, let me go ahead and say that now. I remember as a player, I appreciate that. I appreciated that the only opinions that mattered were inside the wall, so I’m still trying to apply that now going forward.”

The No. 25 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, Aiyuk is scheduled to earn $14.124 million in 2024 on the fifth-year team option linked to his rookie deal.
Aiyuk had a team-leading 75 receptions and 1,342 yards with seven touchdowns in 2023.

Lynch said he would “never close the door on a trade” with Aiyuk in the final season of his contract.

The wide receiver contract market exploded in the offseason.

Dolphins All-Pro Tyreek Hill recently renegotiated his contract to boost his salary to $30 million per season in each of the next three years. Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson signed a four-year, $140 million contract, and the Eagles reworked the deal of A.J. Brown (three years, $96 million) to lift his annual salary to $32 million. Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown also landed a huge contract since the 2023 season ended with a salary of just over $30 million per year.

Aiyuk is attending training camp to avoid being fined but not practicing with the team. Under terms of the collective bargaining agreement, players who don’t report are subject to fines of up to $50,000 per day.
