After months of stagnant contract negotiations, Brandon Aiyuk officially wants out. The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver informed the team Tuesday he now prefers to be traded, as CBS Sports lead NFL insider Jonathan Jones confirmed, despite previously indicating he desired to strike a long-term contract with the 49ers.

Aiyuk, who teased a relocation while hinting at a disconnect in contract talks in recent weeks, figures to be a hot commodity if the 49ers actually entertain offers in light of his request.
