What happened: During the NFL Draft, Adam Schefter reports the San Francisco 49ers have not released WR Brandon Aiyuk but expect interest from the Washington Commanders when a deal happens. This aligns with the 49ers' ongoing efforts to trade the receiver. Aiyuk remains on the roster amid discussions.

Why it matters: A move to Washington could upgrade their receiving corps for the 2026 season. For the 49ers, who drafted WR De'Zhaun Stribling at No. 33, it signals potential offensive changes. Roster shifts may influence and team projections.

What to watch: Monitor draft developments for trade announcements or additional suitors for Aiyuk.
