Talk of the Washington Commanders potentially trading for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk isn’t going to stop until he’s traded – to this or another team – or re-signed.
The biggest reasons for this are two-fold. First, he and Commanders rookie quarterback have an obvious chemistry that NFL teams dream of having between a passer and receiver. Secondly, Aiyuk has made it clear he wants a new contract before the regular season whether that be with the 49ers or another team.
There’s no doubt that adding Aiyuk would give the Commanders a big surge of energy in the receiver room, talent on the field, and credibility as a potential contender in the NFC East Division. As No. 2 receivers go, McLaurin would immediately become arguably the best one in the entire group.
While Washington didn’t make a big jump at securing a left tackle this offseason, a move that would have certainly helped Daniels in his NFL adjustments, they could make this one knowing it too would help the young quarterback on and off the field.
