The Las Vegas Raiders will quickly become a rumored team in the Brandon Aiyuk trade sweepstakes this week. Aiyuk’s agent, Ryan Williams, is very busy. However, he made time for the Raiders’ practice on Wednesday.

The San Francisco 49ers are in trade talks

The 49ers are in trade talks with multiple NFL teams. The Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns seem like the most logical destinations for the Aiyuk after the New England Patriots backed out of negotiations on Tuesday night.

The 49ers have a few stipulations in any trade for AIyuk. They would like to receive draft compensation and, preferably, a veteran wide receiver. Davante Adams is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL who will likely hit the trade market this year.

Mike Garafolo with the NFL Network was live at Raiders practice Wednesday. Williams was right behind Garafolo on camera. Williams declined to talk to Garafolo, so Garafolo had to provide an update on Aiyuk’s situation with the 49ers live with his agent standing with his back turned to the cameras.

Per Garafolo, Williams didn’t want to provide too many details but confirmed “nothing was done” regarding any trade of Aiyuk. Williams also said not to believe everything that is being put out on social media.

The timing of WIlliams’ visit to the Raiders’ facility provides an added layer of mystery this week. Williams has one client who plays for the Raiders, offensive tackle Thayer Munford Jr., and he is under a rookie contract signed in the 2022 season.

One has to wonder if Williams is there to scope out a potential trade for Aiyuk to the Raiders. The Raiders have a weapon in Adams that would be intriguing to the 49ers brass. Any trade that includes a swap of Adams and Aiyuk wouldn’t be straight up.

The trade would certainly be complex. But then again, Aiyuk’s trade situation is already complicated.
