On Monday, Aiyuk asked to meet with the 49ers to discuss his contract. There’s no word on if any progress was made. However, ESPN’s Adam Schefter acknowledged that San Francisco and Washington have at least discussed Aiyuk.
“There were some conversations at one point between the 49ers and Commanders,” Schefter said. “Commanders were interested, but they decided not to do that deal.”
Washington and San Francisco discussing Aiyuk is not surprising. Commanders general manager Adam Peters came to Washington in January after spending the previous seven years in San Francisco, including the final three as John Lynch’s assistant general manager.
