The San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk are reportedly in a contract negotiation impasse, with a significant gap in their discussions for an extension. Aiyuk's trade possibility has been heightened due to the tough negotiating stance of the 49ers. The recent contract extension of Amon-Ra St. Brown has also raised questions about its impact on Aiyuk's situation, leading to speculation about a potential trade.

Just hours out from the 2024 #NFLDraft, I put my final thoughts on paper regarding a potential trade for 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and why Amon-Ra St. Brown's extension made it a greater possibility than ever https://t.co/0i8DYtkf1A
To be fair to the 49ers' negotiating style, I don't think Aiyuk's camp was just waiting for St.-Brown's deal to come in. I'm sure they have a number that is not low. But the 49ers are tough negotiators, especially in April, and in this case maybe that's not the wisest position. https://t.co/Yu6p2v4Hpa
Just wondering: How does contract for Amon-Ra St. Brown affect Brandon Aiyuk impasse? Significantly.
"Earlier, I spoke to another team’s general manager who insisted that, because the 49ers and Aiyuk are far apart on negotiations for a lucrative contract extension, the fifth-year receiver is 'very much in play.'" @sfchronicle @SportingGreenSF https://t.co/7pxHU81OIx
