In April 2023, when John Lynch was asked about rumored trade interest in Brandon Aiyuk, the San Francisco 49ers general manager made it clear he had no plans to deal the wide receiver without saying so explicitly.

The San Francisco 49ers have begun a bit of a roster purge this offseason. How extensive that purge will be remains to be seen, but the team has already agreed to trade wide receiver Deebo Samuel.

The San Francisco 49ers will likely move on from Deebo Samuel this offseason, but they could be looking to move another key receiver as well.
