The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> have yet to make a decision on star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, and it’s tough to blame them for doing so. He put them in a rather difficult position, and as a result, the 49ers don’t have much of a reason to help him out at all.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been plenty of noise centered around Aiyuk\u2019s future, but according to Vic Tafur of The Athletic<\/a>, the situation seems to already be figured out from the 49ers’ perspective.<\/p>\n

“San Francisco 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan spent most of the night with friend, former co-worker and current Washington Commanders<\/a> general manager Adam Peters. Yes, the topic of Brandon Aiyuk surely came up \u2026 but probably not for as long as you think. The 49ers have made it clear that Aiyuk won\u2019t be back \u2014 never mind owner Jed York\u2019s comments earlier Monday \u2014 but they\u2019re not just going to release the receiver anytime soon. And it\u2019s not a petty move out of bitterness, upset that Aiyuk just stopped showing up for his rehab from his knee injury last season.<\/p>\n

“The logic is simple: If a team is interested in Aiyuk\u2019s services \u2014 and spending as much time with him this spring as possible \u2014 it can trade the 49ers a draft pick. Why would the 49ers do a team that they compete with a favor by handing Aiyuk over for free now? Perhaps they\u2019ll release him after the draft if they can\u2019t find a suitor by then. But San Francisco can wait much longer if it wants to \u2014 the team doesn\u2019t owe Aiyuk anything until his option bonus is due Sept. 1.”<\/p>\n

As touched on above, there isn’t much of a reason to move on from him before a certain point of the offseason.<\/p>\n

The 49ers have to make the right decision from a team perspective, and unfortunately for the disgruntled wide receiver, that will result in him having to wait around longer than he likely wants to.<\/p>\n
