49ers could reunite McCaffrey brothers with this Brandon Aiyuk trade
Trade rumors continue to swirl around San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. The main team he has been linked to lately is the Washington Commanders.
The Niners could swing a trade with the Commanders that would reunite the McCaffrey brothers, Luke and Christian.
49ers could reunite Christian McCaffrey and Luke McCaffrey with this Brandon Aiyuk trade
There have been many mock trade proposals as of late between the Niners and the Commanders. Everyone is trying to figure out what a trade would look like between these two teams.
While each of these proposals have their merit, there is one trade that is a little out of the box but could be interesting.
The Niners are clearly in a win-now mode. Their championship window may be closing soon, and any trade involving Aiyuk would need to ensure that they can remain competitive.
That is why it would be essential for San Francisco to get a wide receiver as part of a deal.
What if the 49ers gave up Aiyuk in exchange for newly drafted Commanders wide receiver Luke McCaffrey, brother of Christian McCaffrey, and a mid-level draft pick? This would be fair for both sides because the Commanders would be getting a great wide receiver in Aiyuk, and the Niners would be getting a receiver in Luke McCaffrey, who has a lot of upside.
We know that McCaffrey is not on the same level as Aiyuk. However, it is conceivable that a combination of McCaffrey, Ricky Pearsall, and Jacob Cowing could come close to replacing Aiyuk’s production.
