The overwhelming consensus among the NFL community is that the Washington Commanders are the next home for disgruntled San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk. The storyline is overbearing, specifically in the 49ers’ and Commanders’ circles, as the majority of fans and local media are just waiting for each team’s next move. How long is Washington, if they are truly ready to take on Aiyuk, willing to wait for the 28-year-old receiver?
There is no incentive for the 49ers to release Aiyuk right now
or in the foreseeable future. It could be a long wait for any team willing to offer Aiyuk a contract. So, can Washington rip the band-aid off and simply trade for him?
Michael Ginnitti, Co-Founder/Editor of Spotrac, says that it is certainly a viable option for Washington to trade for Aiyuk. However, it behooves the 49ers to wait before moving on from him, and that could be as late as June.
On the latest Trap or Dive Podcast, Ginnitti broke down the Commanders’ free agency, including the true value of newly signed edge rusher Odafe Oweh’s contract. We also spoke to former Washington Redskin’ Brian Orakpo! Discussing his 10-year career in the NFL and what’s been his priority post-NFL career.
