Overview
- Shanahan, speaking Monday at the NFL meetings in Phoenix, said there is no date for a move and that he hopes to get compensation.
- Aiyuk has not played since October 2024 after tearing his ACL and MCL in his right knee and he missed the entire 2025 season.
- The team voided much of his 2026 guaranteed money and placed him on the reserve/left squad list in December, so he remains under contract but is not in their plans.
- San Francisco rebuilt its receiver group by signing Mike Evans to a three-year, $42.5 million deal and adding Christian Kirk, and John Lynch signaled a goodbye to Jauan Jennings.
- Reports link Washington as an interested team because of Aiyuk’s ties to quarterback Jayden Daniels, though many suitors prefer a release over surrendering picks and any trade would require a passed physical.
