Justin Jefferson trade: Potential packages that could force Vikings to move on

3) San Francisco 49ers

Like Justin Jefferson, Brandon Aiyuk faces a contract impasse

The Brandon Aiyuk saga has been well-documented, especially by his girlfriend, Rochelle Searight. Like Jefferson, he is entering his fifth-year option. And even a second straight 1,000-yard season, it is clear that Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, and even Kyle Juszczyk will remain the San Francisco 49ers' offensive focus.

Moving Aiyuk to Minneapolis for his fellow 2020 first-rounder will allow him to lead, especially with the next-best receiver being incoming sophomore Jordan Addison. The 49ers, meanwhile, get an explosive big-play wideout.
