Niners Nation on Brandon Aiyuk
From the article
Brandon Aiyuk has turned in his paperwork to file for reinstatement, his new agent Drew Rosenhaus has said. Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Aiyuk will report to the 49ers' facility on Friday. 'Brandon is healthy and ready to get back on the field,' Rosenhaus said, per Schefter. It is now up to the 49ers to decide whether to keep Aiyuk, look to find a trade partner for him, or simply release him. Given the apparent breakdown in the relationship between Aiyuk and head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, him staying on the team looks extremely unlikely.
STACKED’s take
Aiyuk files for reinstatement, reports Friday; 49ers likely to trade or release him.
Aiyuk has filed for reinstatement and will report to the 49ers' facility on Friday, per his agent Drew Rosenhaus and ESPN's Adam Schefter. Rosenhaus stated 'Brandon is healthy and ready to get back on the field.' However, the 49ers face a decision on whether to keep Aiyuk, trade him, or release him. Given the apparent breakdown in the relationship between Aiyuk and head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, him staying on the team looks extremely unlikely. The 49ers, 6-1 and the current one seed in the NFC, do not need the sideshow of Aiyuk reintegrating with the team. The Washington Commanders have long been considered a likely trade partner, but given his conduct over the past year, it remains to be seen if any team will be willing to give up draft capital. The 49ers may be happy to cut their losses and move on.
