Forty Niners Hold Off on Aiyuk Trade

It's March 31st, welcome in, this is NFL News Today, where football meets AI.

The brand and IUK situation is dominating the San Francisco 49ers off-season talk.

The wide receiver probably has no future with the team, but head coach Kyle Shanahan

made it clear there are no hurry to trade or cut him as the two, 1026 season approaches.

IUK set out the whole 2025 season, leaving everyone wondering if he's even ready to

hit the field again.

Right now, his status hangs in limbo, fueling all kinds of trade rumors.

Shanahan's comments echo what NBC Sports analyst Chris Simms is saying,

Simms chatted with Mike Floreo from Pro Football Talk at the NFL Owners meeting in Phoenix

this week, stressing the 49ers have zero reason to, rush.

Simms pointed out they could hold off until training camp, when some team might need a

receiver boost right before the season kicks off.

No point dumping a young talent for peanuts when a real market might pop up soon.

That patience gives the 49ers leverage, keeping options open without forcing a bad deal.
