During the combine broadcast on Saturday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport gave credence to rumors that the San Francisco 49ers could trade receiver Brandon Aiyuk this offseason. He mentioned Aiyuk’s name along with the Los Angeles Rams’ Cooper Kupp and Aiyuk’s teammate Deebo Samuel, who has since been traded to the Washington Commanders, as receivers potentially on the move in 2025.

For perspective, the 49ers will have to reshape their roster over the next couple of seasons to accommodate the large cap hits that will result from quarterback Brock Purdy’s future extension.
