SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers have no intention of granting star receiver Brandon Aiyuk his trade request and remain committed to getting a long-term extension done with one of their most important offensive players.
General manager John Lynch said there are no absolutes but that the 49ers “expect Brandon to be an integral part of our team like he has been and are excited about that.”
The 49ers arrived at training camp on Tuesday, with Aiyuk showing up with the rest of his teammates, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the team didn't make an announcement. Aiyuk had skipped the entire offseason program, including a mandatory minicamp.
Aiyuk would have been subject to potential fines if he didn’t show up but he still could try to follow the path of teammate Deebo Samuel, who skipped the first four training camp practices in 2022 while negotiating for a long-term extension.
