The 49ers made it to the Super Bowl the year prior but missed the playoffs in 2024 thanks in large part to injuries.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers were never at full strength. That led to the team finishing in last place in the NFC West with a 6-11 record. Now, the 49ers are at a crossroads. There are going to be players who will end up playing elsewhere after this offseason. Deebo Samuel has been discussed a lot, but The Athletic&#8217;s\u00a0Diana Russini shared that teams have shown some level of interest in fellow receiver Brandon Aiyuk on the &#8220;Scoop City&#8221; podcast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Brandon Aiyuk is a player who teams had a lot of interest in before he signed that deal last year,&#8221; Russini said &#8220;&#8230;There are some teams poking around now to see if the 49ers would be willing to deal Brandon Aiyuk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Aiyuk was in trade rumors all offseason last year. There was chatter into training camp and he was heavily tied to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Obviously, he ended up staying and signed a four-year, $120 million deal.<\/p>\n<p>The 2024 season was a lost year for him individually as he played just seven games. Could the 49ers decide to make him available this offseason? Russini didn&#8217;t share that any move is close and just said teams have been &#8220;poking around.&#8221; The most likely option is that Aiyuk will be with the team in 2025, but this is interesting at least.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>More NFL:\u00a0Will 49ers lose projected $7 million star defender to bitter NFC West rival?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<section data-testid=\"article-author-bio-block\">Patrick McAvoy&#8217;s experiences include local and national sportswriting across baseball, football and basketball.
