There are two trade scenarios involving All-Pro receiver Brandon Aiyuki.Now Samuel hasn’t been traded in the end, but about two years ago he asked for it. And the New York Jets had an offer on the table to enter the 49ers in the 2022 NFL Draft. You have to wonder if Aiyuk will follow the same path. He’s already caused a stir on social media this week, so it’s inconceivable that he did this to ruffle feathers.I don’t see it. Aiyuk saw with his own eyes how it worked with Samuel two years ago.
Asking for a trade to speed up contract extension negotiations does nothing. No social media gimmicks either. I think all the hype surrounding Aiyuki’s recent social media activity is overblown.I rather think he is doing it on purpose for fun. Trading it has zero correlation. However, I can see Aiyuki asking for a trade when he and the 49ers are far apart in terms of trade value.
Or if the 49ers really don’t see a way to pay Aiyuki top dollar as a wide receiver.First it was the Jacksonville Jaguars, then last the Pittsburgh Steelers. These trade scenarios will continue throughout the offseason. Aiyuki’s sequel won’t arrive until July or August. Until then Aiyuk will continue to do reported or rumored packages.But all this trade talk makes me wonder if it will happen. Two years ago, Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the 49ers during contract extension negotiations. Wide receivers do this because they are the most dramatic players on the entire team..
