In a surprising turn of events, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has officially requested a trade after unsuccessful attempts to reach a contract extension with the team, according to sources reported by NFL Media's Mike Garafolo. Despite a recent meeting, negotiations have stalled since May, leading Aiyuk to respectfully ask for a move elsewhere.

Aiyuk's trade request comes as a blow to the 49ers, who now find themselves in a difficult position with one of their promising receivers. The young playmaker, who is under contract for the upcoming season with a salary of over $14 million, has expressed his desire to explore other opportunities, indicating his dissatisfaction with the situation.

It remains to be seen whether the 49ers will entertain offers for Aiyuk or try to find a resolution to retain their talented wideout. The team has reportedly informed other interested parties that they currently have no intention of parting ways with Aiyuk, but a significant offer could potentially change their stance.

It's worth noting that the 49ers have previously dealt with a similar situation. Last season, wide receiver Deebo Samuel also requested a trade but ultimately remained with the team. Whether Aiyuk's situation follows a similar trajectory or leads to an actual trade remains uncertain at this point.

In other NFL news, the Chicago Bears have reached an agreement on a rookie contract with their ninth overall pick, Rome Odunze. The wide receiver has signed a four-year deal worth $22.7 million, fully guaranteed, with a fifth-year option included, according to NFL Media's Tom Pelissero. Odunze's signing solidifies his future with the Bears as he prepares to make an impact in the forthcoming season.
