The San Francisco 49ers have been in the news lately but not for a great reason.
San Francisco has been one of the top teams in football over the last few years but could end up losing some of its core in the near future. The 49ers have been in trade rumors seemingly all offseason with both Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel being mentioned.
Aiyuk has seemed like the more likely trade candidate, but San Francisco also has made it known that it would like to hang on to the rising star.
At this point, it's unclear what will happen but a trade still is a possibility, and one team that could make sense as a possible landing spot is the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Bleacher Report's Alex Kay.
"San Francisco 49ers receive: Edge Joey Bosa, 2025 second-round pick (and) Los Angeles Chargers receive: (Wide Receiver) Brandon Aiyuk," Kay proposed. "The Los Angeles Chargers are preparing for a critical season in quarterback Justin Herbert's development and still need to find an elite receiver to augment the rising star signal-caller...
"One creative way L.A. could try to lure Aiyuk away from San Francisco is by offering up Joey Bosa in trade negotiations. Bosa has been struggling with injury in recent seasons but is still a force when available. He's racked up 67 sacks in his first 93 career games and could be rejuvenated playing on the same defensive line as his brother Nick. Even Bosa's own mother has been pleading with the Chargers to make this move, although a (one-for-one) swap for Aiyuk likely wouldn't be in the cards."
While this is just a hypothetical trade proposal, it would make a lot of sense if the 49ers actually wanted to deal Aiyuk. That doesn't seem like the case right now, but things could change.
