- San Francisco 49ers Owner Shockingly Reverses Course on Status of All-Pro
The San Francisco 49ers have been linked to several different moves this offseason. From potentially reuniting the Bosa brothers in San Francisco , to rumors of trading or cutting franchise left tackle Trent Williams if a contract adjustment can't be reached, or even successfully signing possible future Hall of Famer Mike Evans , there's been a lot in flux.
But that's not all.

The 49ers have also been long expected to move on from former second-team All-Pro receiver Brandon Aiyuk , who didn't play a single snap with the team in 2025. Yet, for whatever reason, the 49ers haven't cut Aiyuk, likely because they're trying to find a trade partner for the final three years of his $120 million contract.
Yet, no team wants to trade anything of value for a player who was limited to just seven games in 2024 and hasn't played a down since.
However, on Monday, 49ers owner Jed York completely flipped the script. Instead of brushing off the topic of Aiyuk's expected departure, he actually re-committed to him instead.
"I don't think it helps your trade leverage. It's just, he's a good football player," York said at the NFL's annual meeting . "We paid him. I think we've paid him more millions of dollars in snaps that he's had. I would like to see him play for us."

Meanwhile, coach Kyle Shanahan is still singing a different tune.
"Don't have a date. Eventually it will resolve itself," Shanahan said. "Hopefully we can get something for it. We're in no rush. We have to do what's right for the 49ers."
