The San Francisco 49ers face a difficult decision regarding star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk due to a recent contract provision that guarantees him $22.85 million. This significant financial commitment complicates potential trades, as the 49ers must account for this cap hit even if Aiyuk is moved. Despite his ACL and MCL injury sustained last season, he is expected to be a primary target, especially after Deebo Samuel's departure. General manager John Lynch remains optimistic about Aiyuk's future, emphasizing the team's commitment to him.
