Overview
- At the NFL Combine, John Lynch said no move is expected before the new league year, with the team preparing to release Brandon Aiyuk while staying open to trade interest.
- Aiyuk cut off contact with the organization and was placed on the reserve/left squad list, indicating his 49ers tenure is effectively over.
- Lynch characterized the situation as a disappointment and said he is looking inward for lessons the organization can apply going forward.
- The 49ers remain in communication with impending free-agent wideout Jauan Jennings, leaving the door open for a possible return.
- Lynch voiced confidence in young receivers Jacob Cowing, Ricky Pearsall and Jordan Watkins and said the team will seek help in free agency and the draft; reporting indicates a Mac Jones trade would take a strong offer.
