Veteran wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is patiently waiting for the San Francisco 49ers to release him. Most expect the Washington Commanders to be his next destination, which would reunite the gifted but injury-stricken pass-catcher with college teammates and good friend, quarterback Jayden Daniels.
The Niners don't appear to be in any great rush to remove Aiyuk from the equation. They are reportedly holding out hope that the franchise may receive trade offers, however unlikely that might be. Still, it's clear that the NFC West club is preparing for life after the wideout.
