The San Francisco 49ers may have lost more than just the Super Bowl.
Star WR Brandon Aiyuk reportedly isn’t happy with the organization.
His entourage has shared plenty of content on social media, talking about how he’s unsatisfied with his current role in Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
With that in mind, ESPN insider Dan Graziano revealed that he could be a prime trade target in the offseason if both parties are unable to reach a contract extension (Via Dov Kleiman).

Aiyuk is coming off the best season of his career, even making an All-Pro team.
However, he wasn’t heavily involved in the passing game in the final two games of the season, Super Bowl included.
Notably, that shouldn’t be much of a surprise.
As great a player as he is, he’s still third in the pecking order behind Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, and some might even argue that he should go after George Kittle.
That’s what happens when you play for star-studded teams.
Aiyuk might want to prove that he can be a No. 1 guy.
Also, he might already have burned some bridges with his entourage’s social media activity.
So, don’t be shocked if multiple teams reach out to the Niners to try and trade for their talented wide receiver.
