SANTA CLARA, Calif. — With San Francisco unable to reach a long-term deal with Brandon Aiyuk, the 49ers have given the star receiver permission to talk to other potential suitors.

Now the question is whether there's a team Aiyuk wants to play for that is willing both to give him the lucrative contract he's seeking and the 49ers enough compensation in a trade to make something happen. If not, Aiyuk might end up staying in San Francisco whether with a new contract or on a fifth-year option.

For now, the situation remains status quo despite swirling rumors about Aiyuk's status.

“I’m not going any specifics with offers, contracts, trades, anything like that. But what I can tell you guys is nothing has changed,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Tuesday. “A lot was out yesterday and stuff, but from the situation that we’re in with Brandon, nothing’s changed."
