Amid all the trade rumors, the San Francisco 49ers must prioritize extending star pass-catcher Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk, 26, is an ascending star who has yet to plateau heading into his fifth NFL season. The former Arizona St. product is coming off a stellar 2023 campaign, which saw Aiyuk haul in 75 receptions on 105 targets for a career-high 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns.

When he's bottled up (which doesn't occur often), the 49ers have the luxury of finding one of the many explosive players at their disposal on offense. Although in years past, Deebo Samuel operated as the go-to receiver much of the time, Aiyuk appeared to be quarterback Brock Purdy's favorite target in the most critical
