Trading Brandon Aiyuk a month away from Week 1 of the regular season makes no sense for the 49ers unless the relationship between them is fractured beyond repair.
It is a crazy concept to fathom considering the regular season is a month away. Trading away one of the best players on a team at this stage rarely happens. The last time that happened, off the top of my head, was when the then Oakland Raiders traded away Khalil Mack to the Chicago Bears in 2018.
Aiyuk could struggle to lock in for that knowing he is still playing on his rookie deal at $14 million. He has seen countless of his peers receive extensions, yet he is the one who is left out. It might be a struggle for Aiyuk at first, but ultimately he isn't going to return to the 49ers with a sabotaged mindset.
Then franchise tag him to see if an extension can be worked out again or to actually conduct a trade properly and not late. With the way training camp has gone for the 49ers so far, they need Aiyuk. Rookie Ricky Pearsall isn't going to fill or shrink the hole left by him. He can barely stay on the field as it is, so he's got injury prone concerns surrounding him. Something that Aiyuk never has.
