Brandon Aiyuk reportedly asks for trade after extension talks stall, but 49ers unlikely to oblige

Brandon Aiyuk, star wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, has asked for a trade after he and the team were unable to reach an agreement on a contract extension, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Aiyuk and team brass reportedly met "recently," but "the Niners haven't been willing to engage in negotiations since May."

Aiyuk, 26, has been with the Niners his entire career. They drafted him with the 25th overall pick in 2020, and he's produced for them. He has 269 receptions for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns for San Francisco over his four-year career.
