Predicting Solutions for NFL Stars Facing Contract Talks and Trade Rumors

Now that Stefon Diggs is off the trade market, receiver-needy teams like the New York Giants, New York Jets, Chicago Bears, Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Los Angeles Chargers, New England Patriots and Tennessee Titans will have to turn their attention elsewhere. Those in pursuit of a veteran option could see if the San Francisco 49ers are willing to move Brandon Aiyuk ahead of the final year of his rookie contract.

Aiyuk has been the focus of plenty of trade buzz this offseason, mainly because he and the Niners are reportedly nowhere close on an extension. Quarterback Brock Purdy will become eligible for an extension after this season, which means the Niners’ loaded offense is about to become far more expensive.
