My condolences: San Francisco 49ers HC (Kyle Shanahan) and one year old baby die in car crash…..

Multiple teams have contacted the San Francisco 49ers with interest in trading for receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but so far nothing has been agreed to, a league source told The Athletic on Monday.

Aiyuk trade talks — a hot topic approaching the draft in April — heated up again recently as the 49ers ended their second week of training camp no closer to a deal with their top receiver.

Over the weekend, the Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots were the top suitors, according to multiple reports.

On Monday, the Pittsburgh Steelers resurfaced as a possible destination.

Amid his trade request and search for an extension, Aiyuk is attending team activities but is not participating as part of a “hold-in.”

Amid the hold-in, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported last week that talks between the two sides haven’t made much progress recently.

“The situation has gotten really sticky,” Fowler wrote Saturday.

“The receiver market ballooning into the $30 million neighborhood has complicated talks.

The 49ers have not shown a willingness to pay Aiyuk what he thinks he’s worth, and negotiations hadn’t intensified lately, last I had checked.”

According to Shook, several teams have been permitted to talk with Aiyuk’s agent with the goal of working out a contract extension should he be traded.
