Less than a year after signing a four-year extension worth $120 million, however, Brandon Aiyuk may also be on the trade block.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on \u201cThe Pat McAfee Show\u201d on Wednesday, ESPN\u2019s Adam Schefter opined that the 49ers \u201cwould listen, absolutely\u201d to trade offers for Aiyuk. The 2020 first-round pick was having a down 2024 season before suffering a torn ACL that ended his campaign.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time since Aug. 24, Aiyuk shared an Instagram post with lyrics from the 2021 song \u201cBigger Than Life or Death\u201d by EST Gee.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-instagram wp-block-embed-instagram\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe id=\"instagram-embed-0\" class=\"instagram-media instagram-media-rendered\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DGydQlWSuVz\/embed\/captioned\/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=658&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.totalprosports.com&amp;rp=%2Fnfl%2F49ers-superstar-wr-brandon-aiyuk-breaks-his-silence-with-cryptic-instagram-post-as-trade-rumors-swirl%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A3813.5%7D\" height=\"1116\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-instgrm-payload-id=\"instagram-media-payload-0\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>You can check out the IG post here.<\/p>\n<section data-content-name=\"Check This Out\" data-track-content=\"\"><\/section>\n<p>The timing of Aiyuk\u2019s post is certainly fascinating with trade winds ramping up on Tuesday.
