San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch was as straightforward as he could be Monday when he broached the subject of wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk: “We want him to be a part of the 49ers for the rest of his career.”
After Lynch said he didn’t want to discuss Aiyuk’s business publicly, the local media asked seven consecutive questions about Aiyuk. As you’d expect, Lynch gave out little detail.
Michael Silver of the San Francisco Chronicle believes an Aiyuk trade is very much alive, in his recent column:
Based on what I’m hearing from knowledgeable sources inside the building and from high-ranking personnel executives and coaches around the league, don’t rule out a deal that would send Brock Purdy’s favorite target to another team.
