Brandon Aiyuk’s days with the San Francisco 49ers may be numbered.
After a drama-filled offseason and swirling trade rumors, the Pro Bowl receiver remains absent from team activities with no clear return date in sight-raising serious doubts about his long-term future in the Bay.
Aiyuk himself poked fun at the speculation in a now-viral YouTube clip, joking about being “off Percocets” and having to “pee in a cup by my bed” when he found out the Niners were fielding trade calls. But with training camp looming and the front office staying silent, the laughs are fading-and the writing may be on the wall.
Meanwhile, a major shift is taking place in Aiyuk’s shadow: Jauan Jennings, his former backup, is surging into the spotlight. After a breakout Super Bowl performance and a standout showing in OTAs-where he was dubbed the star of camp by Sports Illustrated’s Grant Cohn-the 49ers are reportedly preparing to re-sign the veteran wideout.
The cost/benefit of the Jennings contract
Jennings, now entering his sixth season, has quietly become one of the most valuable pieces on the roster. Despite earning just $10.5 million over five years, his 2024 stats nearly cracked the 1,000-yard mark, and many argue he would’ve reached it if not for a controversial ejection in the final game.
Even so, his production rivaled that of top-paid stars like DJ Moore and DK Metcalf-only at a fraction of the cost.
His versatility, clutch playoff performances, and cap-friendly contract are making the decision clear for San Francisco’s front office. Jennings is reliable, productive, and most importantly, affordable.
Aiyuk is not worth what it costs
Aiyuk, on the other hand, is heading into a potential contract explosion-with projections showing a $41 million cap hit by 2027. Add in his recovery from a major ACL/MCL injury, and it’s no surprise that fans and analysts alike are asking: “Let him walk or hold on tight?”
For now, Aiyuk’s 49ers chapter is hanging by a thread-and Jennings might just be the one pulling it.

Sparta se probrala po přestávce, obrat s Duklou dokonal fantom Uchenna
Právě duel v Lotyšsku zohlednil trenér Brian Priske při skládání základní sestavy, jen na lavičce začaly opory Lukáš Haraslín, Jan Kuchta, Kaan Kairinen a Matěj Ryneš. Dánskému kouči se tento tah málem nevyplatil.Zápas přitom začal pro Spartu ideálně - ve 20. minutě si na rohový kop Magnuse Andersena sběhl na přední tyč Uchenna a hlavičkou otevřel skóre. Jenže z vedení se Letenští radovali přesně tři minuty. Útočník Cissé stál sice v ofsajdu, využil však nechtěné přihrávky sparťana Andersena. Převzal míč, obehrál Patrika Vydru a propálil Petera Vindahla - 1:1. Dvaadvacetiletého Rakušana ale nenapadlo nic lepšího než jít slavit pod letenský kotel a navíc si svléknout trenky, takže zároveň vyfasoval i žlutou kartu. Jeho zásah byl prvním gólem Dukly na Letné v samostatné české lize. Naposledy se v jejím dresu na stadionu Sparty trefil v roce 1991 někdejší záložník Jozef Kostelník.Vrátit Spartě vedení mohl Angelo Preciado, který si na hranici šestnáctky kličkou vytvořil výtečnou pozici, […]
Krejčího Girona utrpěla na hřišti Villarrealu debakl, Pamplona gólem Budimira porazila Valencii
Villarreal šel do vedení už v sedmé minutě, kdy hrubou chybu obrany v rozehrávce potrestal Pépé. O devět minut později se poprvé prosadil Buchanan, jenž těsně před gólovou střelou na 2:0 nasadil Krejčímu „jesličky“. Kanadský reprezentant pak ještě před přestávkou zvýšil na 4:0 poté, co třetí branku přidal Marín.Domácí po přestávce zvolnili tempo, ale i přesto se Buchananovi v 64. minutě podařilo završit hattrick poté, co na přední tyči nachytal nejistého brankáře Krapyvcova. Šestadvacetiletý Kanaďan je od léta kmenovým hráčem „Žluté ponorky“, v jarní části předchozího ročníku v týmu hostoval z Interu Milán a ze třinácti ligových startů jednou skóroval.Girona má po dvou zápasech na dně tabulky skóre 1:8. Krejčí odehrál stejně jako v prvním kole celý zápas. Podle spekulací médií má reprezentační obránce namířeno do anglického Wolverhamptonu.Espaňol vedl v San Sebastianu už od desáté minuty po brance Milly a v závěru poločasu zvýšil z penalty Puado.

Neville: Man Utd display opened scars, they need a midfield signing
Manchester United's performance in their 1-1 draw with Fulham dampened optimism around the side and underlined the need for midfield reinforcements, according to Gary Neville.Emile Smith Rowe's equaliser in a dramatic game at Craven Cottage cancelled out a contentious own goal by Rodrigo Muniz as Manchester United's wait for a first Premier League win of the season continued following last weekend's 1-0 loss to Arsenal. The opening-weekend performance at Old Trafford offered encouragement as new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo impressed, but Sky Sports pundit Neville felt Sunday's game highlighted familiar problems - particularly in midfield.Ruben Amorim persisted with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as his central pairing, with the latter missing a first-half penalty as Kobbie Mainoo remained an unused substitute.
