A contract extension for Brandon Aiyuk becomes increasingly impossible with each passing day, yet the 49ers still shouldn't look to trade him.
He was entering the final year of his rookie deal and was coming off an All-Pro season. He's proven to get better each and every year. Aiyuk is the definition of a player who's arrow is pointed up. Unfortunately, this offseason has not gone at all the way Aiyuk has hoped.extension with the 49ers. He's currently conducting a hold-in where he shows up for the meetings, but doesn't participate in practice. That is normal nowadays for players searching for a new deal.
How can a team that is all in on winning a Super Bowl this year, arguably their last best chance to do it, trade their best wide receiver? Doing so this late into the offseason isn't wise. If the 49ers had done so before the draft, then okay that is manageable. But to do so now is foolish. I get that Aiyuk isn't consistently heavily featured like Christian McCaffrey, but he's still an incredibly impactful player.
