5 Best Trade Fits if the 49ers Move WR Brandon Aiyuk

Atlanta Falcoms

With the Atlanta Falcons signing Kirk Cousins this offseason, they've opened up a new window to try and be competitive in the NFC. Even with a strong wide receiver in Drake London in the mix, adding Aiyuk opposite him could prove to be beneficial. The Falcons are trying to win in the next two seasons, and even if they had to pay a high price, that shouldn't scare them off from bidding on one of the leagues top wideouts if he's available.

New England Patriots

With the recent talk about Aiyuk requesting a trade from the San Francisco 49ers, the New England Patriots have been a team generating buzz in the marketplace. The Patriots are still in search of a top receiving threat, and adding someone with the talent of Aiyuk to the fold makes plenty of sense. New England wants to give rookie quarterback Drake Maye a chance at success whenever he takes the reigns, and Aiyuk would help in that regard. 

Pittsburgh Steelers

After moving Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers this offseason, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a clear need in their wide receiver room. Even with youngster Georgie Pickens in the fold, Aiyuk would come in immediately and be the top option for the Black and Gold. The Steelers don't normally pay wideouts what Aiyuk is reportedly asking for. Will that alter whether or not this is a real fit in Pittsburgh?

Washington Commanders

There's already been some buzz from Aiyuk himself that the Washington Commanders could be a fit here if he's ultimately moved. The Commanders are trying to take the next step in their rebuild, and adding a wide receiver like Aiyuk for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels could pay dividends. Aiyuk and Terry McLaurin paired together could be a very dangerous duo in the NFL. 

Los Angeles Chargers

It's been an interesting offseason for the Los Angeles Chargers after they hired head coach Jim Harbaugh. The Chargers have invested heavily in the trenches, but lost wideouts Keenan Allen and Mike Williams this offseason. Even after drafting Georgia standout Ladd McConkey, the Chargers still have a need to give Justin Herbert more competent targets. The question is, what would the Chargers be willing to give up to get a true alpha in Aiyuk?
