In a post on X, ESPN's Adam Schefter said that the 49ers owe Aiyuk a $22.85 million bonus if he remains on the roster by Tuesday, April 1. Schefter explained that there would be no deals for a possible trade once the bonus is paid.

The San Francisco 49ers appear to be open to trading Brandon Aiyuk, but they may only have until Tuesday to find a suitor. Aiyuk signed a 4-year, $120 million contract extension with the 49ers prior to the 2024 season.

In 2023, safety Talanoa Hufanga tore his ACL in Week 12 and managed to return in Week 3 of the 2024 campaign. Aiyuk suffered more than just an ACL tear in his knee which could explain the additional time for his recovery.

The key date of April 1 comes up again from ESPN’s Adam Schefter when discussing a potential Brandon Aiyuk trade

ESPN analyst Adam Schefter doesn't see Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter being available when the New England Patriots come up on the draft board at No. 4. He recently appeared on "NFL Live" and stated his case.

An Aiyuk trade this offseason never really made sense for San Francisco to begin with. They just signed him to be part of their long-term core, and he's injured. Any deal would have not gotten the return the 49ers would seek in a trade for a player of Aiyuk's caliber.

There’s been a lot of movement on the quarterback market during free agency the last two weeks. That now will have an affect on what teams decide to do in the 2025 NFL Draft, including potential trades up to No.
