If Brandon Aiyuk really wants out of the San Francisco 49ers, his best chance is to join one of two teams.
A report Monday from NBC Sports Bay Area’s Matt Maiocco said that the 49ers have the trade framework in place from two AFC teams: The Cleveland Browns and New England Patriots.
The only thing the San Francisco 49ers are waiting for is to see if Brandon Aiyuk will accept contract terms from either team.
If either trade goes through, the 49ers are sure to be happy about it.
The rumored deal for Brandon Aiyuk would net the 49ers WR Amari Cooper and draft picks should he choose the Cleveland Browns.
Should he go with the Patriots, the 49ers would receive Kendrick Bourne and draft picks, per ESPN.

The 49ers have reportedly accepted what the Browns and Patriots offered for Aiyuk.
In the meantime, Aiyuk has not been participating in training camp practices as he made a formal trade request from the 49ers this offseason because he wants a new contract extension.
The 49ers’ leading receiver last season is in the final year of his rookie deal and will make about $14.1 million without a new deal.
Should he get traded, a new deal is sure to come before he hits training camp.
Brandon Aiyuk Reportedly Seeking Massive New Deal
Since the 49ers lost in Super Bowl LVIII, Brandon Aiyuk has made it abundantly clear that he wants to be paid.
We have gone the entire offseason with the 49ers being reluctant to give him what he desires.
He is reportedly seeking a deal worth upwards of $30 million per season.
