49ers Stand Firm on Aiyuk Trade, Eyeing New Deals
25 Feb
Summary
- Aiyuk won't be traded before the new league year begins March 11.
- The 49ers are in talks with free agent Jauan Jennings for a new contract.
- Mac Jones trade offers will be considered, but only for strong proposals.
The San Francisco 49ers are delaying any decisions regarding receiver Brandon Aiyuk's future until the new league year begins on March 11. General Manager John Lynch confirmed they are open to trade possibilities but will assess offers as they arise over the next few weeks.
Receiver remains a top priority, with ongoing discussions concerning free agent Jauan Jennings. Jennings, a key player for the Niners over the past two seasons, is expected to command substantial compensation, with projections around $14 million annually.
The team also addressed quarterback Mac Jones' situation, stating they don't anticipate a trade but are willing to listen to offers. However, any potential deal would require a 'fairly strong' proposal, as Lynch noted the team values Jones' contribution and sees him as a valuable asset.
In other personnel news, the 49ers have agreed to a one-year deal with long snapper Jon Weeks. They also expressed a strong desire to re-sign punter Thomas Morstead and kicker Eddy Piñeiro, with Piñeiro's performance making him a priority.
The 49ers have also welcomed back former employee Kwesi Adofo-Mensah in a role likely focused on research and development. Defensive linemen Nick Bosa, Keion White, and Alfred Collins are expected back for training camp, while Mykel Williams' recovery from an ACL tear may slightly impact his camp participation.
Finally, the team will be replacing tight ends coach Brian Fleury, who has joined the Seattle Seahawks as offensive coordinator. His replacement and the full 2026 coaching staff will be announced next month.
