Chiefs Could Make Blockbuster Trade for 49ers Receiver

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are coming off of a loss in the Super Bowl to the Philadelphia Eagles this past season, so they will be looking to redeem themselves in 2025.

And making a trade for a big offensive upgrade is something that the team could consider before the start of the season.

In a recent video posted by Bleacher Report, Mitch Milani talks about 10 potential blockbuster trades that the Chiefs should make to get Mahomes his fourth ring. One of the trades he talks about would have Kansas City sending a second-round pick in 2026 to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.

"I just feel like he would fit because he can do everything well," Malani said. "You can interchangeably play him with Worthy and Rice, and he would definitely take their offensive over the top. For the 49ers, I think this trade would be about getting the drama out of their room."

There were a lot of rumors surrounding Aiyuk last season on whether he would be traded or not, and that kind of thing can be draining for a team. If the Niners decide they want to be rid of that, the Chiefs could be a potential trade suitor.

Aiyuk was injured a decent portion of this past season, but his last full season in 2023 shows that he can get the job done. He racked up 1,342 receiving yards and seven touchdowns, which led him to named Second Team All-Pro.

Worth noting - and maybe ruining this sort of idea now: Aiyuk is likely to start the year on IR.

The Niners traded away Deebo Samuel earlier this offseason, so their receiver room is a bit thinner. But for the right price, the Chiefs might be able to entice San Francisco to make the move.
