Christian McCaffrey Calls Brandon Aiyuk ‘Former Teammate,’ Hinting At His Pending Departure

It has been non-stop Brandon Aiyuk trade talk for over 24 hours now as various NFL insiders are reporting that Aiyuk is more likely to be dealt than he is to return to the San Francisco 49ers on a new deal. The Pittsburgh Steelers have of course been central to some of those talks. Adam Schefter reported earlier today that talks had stalled out on Monday night, but have since been revisted between the two teams.

Even with all of the trade rumors, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan maintained that there is still a scenario in which Aiyuk returns to the team.
