NFL insider sends harsh suggestion to 49ers\u2019 Brandon Aiyuk on how to fix relationship in San Francisco<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a>. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

San Francisco 49ers<\/a> wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk<\/a> is still in one of the more difficult positions in the NFL.<\/p>\n

When Aiyuk has been at the top of his game over the past few years, he’s been one of the better receivers in San Francisco<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, he’s dealt with injuries and has also made decisions off the field that many disagree with. Aiyuk, who didn’t show up for anything for the 49ers a year ago, is still on the roster, but there’s an expectation he’ll be traded in the near future.<\/p>\n

Still others don’t believe it needs to go that far; instead, he should do what’s right in San Francisco and apologize for what he did wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I could advise Brandon Aiyuk, I would tell him to show up for work,\u201d Mike Garafolo said<\/a>. \u201cI would have told him to show up for work a couple of weeks ago. Go ahead and see if they\u2019re willing to let you work out, run routes, and do things at their facility.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re injured, all of a sudden those guarantees are back, and your money is on their books once again. He did not do that. He has not done that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aiyuk definitely needs to get back on the field for any team in the NFL to want to trade for him. The problem now is that the 49ers definitely won’t get anything in return, unlike a few years ago, when they could have moved on from him before paying him.<\/p>\n

He’s currently playing on a four-year, $120 million deal, so there’s a lot of incentive to get something done sometime in the near future.<\/p>\n
