Brandon Aiyuk could possibly leave the San Francisco 49ers via trade this offseason.

The star wide receiver has expressed his discontent on a few occasions since the Super Bowl in February. He was recently seen telling Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels during a video call that the team doesn’t want him back.

It appears the two have since linked up in person, as Daniels posted a photo of them together at a clothing store to his Instagram Story this weekend.

Check it out below:

Fans reckon the post is indicative of a potential trade to Washington.

The San Francisco 49ers Have No Desire To Trade Brandon Aiyuk

Despite what Aiyuk told Daniels on their call, the Niners have no desire to trade the player, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The team is also unwilling to pay Aiyuk what he’s asking for.

It’s reported that they were close to reaching a deal earlier in the offseason, but things fell apart after the likes of A.J. Brown, Amon-Ra St. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Justin Jefferson, and Nico Collins signed lucrative new deals and reset the WR market.

Brandon Aiyuk is due $14.124 million next season under his fifth-year option but wants much more. Previous reports claimed he wanted his new deal in the St. Brown range.

While there is still a huge gulf between the parties regarding money, the Niners have never actually considered parting ways with their star receiver.

They did hold discourse with the Commanders before the NFL Draft, but things never really moved in a direction that would see the player dealt away. It looks like they’re just playing the waiting game now.

The Las Vegas Raiders have introduced a brand new luxury tailgate suites at Allegiant Stadium ahead of the 2024 NFL season.

Allegiant Stadium, which opened during the Las Vegas Raiders’ first year in Sin City during the 2020 season, is widely regarded as one of the best (if not the best) NFL stadiums. The “Death Star” has a reputation for providing fans with one of the best gameday experiences, even though the football team has been mired in mediocrity for a while now.

Per Case Keefer of the Las Vegas Sun, the Raiders have introduced a new luxury tailgating space in the Allegiant Stadium parking lot. The all-inclusive packages start at a whopping $20,000 per unit:

“The Raiders’ “premium tailgate” will include top-shelf beverages, a special food menu, traditional games like cornhole, two seating areas and an enclosed lounge with a television for watching the early slate of NFL games.

They are designed to accommodate 15-20 guests, and include both an air-conditioned interior as well as an awning over an outdoor, ground-level seating space and a tentlike cover of a deck up top accessible by a spiraled, metal staircase.”

Here are some images of the “premium tailgate” suites that Las Vegas Raiders fans can experience this year:
