The San Francisco 49ers want to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk this offseason but have not released him yet. Aiyuk’s contract and lack of clear communication with teams are making it hard to complete a trade.
Key Facts
The 49ers' general manager John Lynch said they are not rushing to release Brandon Aiyuk.
Lynch plans to try trading Aiyuk to get some value back for the team.
Aiyuk is very talented and has been effective in the NFL.
The situation between Aiyuk and the 49ers didn’t work out but could improve elsewhere.
The Washington Commanders might be interested in Aiyuk because he knows their quarterback from college.
Other NFL teams do not want to take on Aiyuk’s current contract.
Aiyuk has not been communicating clearly with the 49ers or other teams about changing his contract for a trade.
The 49ers may have to release Aiyuk if they cannot trade him before the season.

FIFA has approved new rules for the World Cup that can give players a red card if they cover their mouths when talking to opponents, aiming to prevent hidden insults. Another rule allows a red card for players who leave the field in protest, a response to events at the Africa Cup of Nations final.
Key Facts
FIFA made two law changes: one against players covering their mouths while speaking to opponents, and one against leaving the pitch in protest.
These changes were agreed on at a FIFA Council meeting in Vancouver and supported by the International Football Association Board (Ifab).
The new rules will be enforced at the upcoming World Cup.
Referees will decide if covering the mouth or leaving the pitch deserves a red card based on the situation.
The rule about covering mouths came after Benfica player Gianluca Prestianni was banned for homophobic comments toward Real Madrid’s Vinicius Jr.
Senegal’s team left the field during the Africa Cup of Nations final in protest of a referee decision; CAF later awarded the win to Morocco.
Team officials who encourage players to leave the pitch may also face penalties.
Causing a match to be abandoned will likely result in a forfeit.
