? Adam Schefter of ESPN expects Brandon Aiyuk to stay in San Francisco.
“I would expect that he’s in a Niners’ uniform. The question is, is it gonna be beyond this year? He’s under contract to them, and why would a Super Bowl contending team trade a starting wide receiver for a future draft pick? Not gonna do that. That doesn’t do anything to help you win a Super Bowl this year. I don’t expect that they’re trading him. That’s not what I’m expecting right now. Whether they can get a contract worked out or not, that’s a different issue. They’ve been talking, doesn’t seem like they’re close right now, those things can heat up pretty quickly,” Schefter said on the Rothman and Ice podcast.
