What happened: NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the San Francisco 49ers are still hoping and trying to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. This update follows their selection of Mississippi WR De’Zhaun Stribling at No. 33 in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Earlier discussions about trading the pick did not materialize.

Why it matters: A potential Aiyuk trade could provide draft capital or cap flexibility for the 49ers' 2026 roster build. Adding Stribling suggests a possible shift in the receiving corps. It signals ongoing offseason maneuvering amid league-wide draft activity.
