Who Should I Start? Brandon Aiyuk or Josh Downs

Wednesday, July 24, 9:16 PM

Reports stated that San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk would attend 49ers training camp, but Aiyuk was seen in shorts and a t-shirt while observing practice on the first day of camp. Aiyuk awaits a resolution regarding his contract status as he is looking for a contract in line with some of the top players at wide receiver. Aiyuk has formally requested a trade to the team, but the team is not budging in their wanting to keep the 26-year-old Aiyuk. Without a trade, Aiyuk will play in San Francisco on his fifth-year option where he's put up two straight 1,000-yard campaigns and enters 2024 as a low-end WR1 if he plays this season in the Bay Area.
