Will Brandon Aiyuk suit up for the San Francisco 49ers next season or a different team?
If he gets his wish, the latter could very well be the case.
The star wide receiver wants out of San Francisco and has requested a trade, according to multiple reports. But if Aiyuk is not in the Bay next season, where should bettors wager on him landing next?
Let’s look at Aiyuk’s next team odds from The Borgata Sportsbook.
BRANDON AIYUK’S NEXT TEAM ODDS: *
New England Patriots: +130 (bet $10 to win $23 total)

FOX sports AFC East reporter Henry McKenna weighed in on which teams he think make the most sense for Aiyuk.
“The Patriots are the favorites for obvious reasons. The biggest one: They have money. That’s what Aiyuk wants, ultimately. But New England also has a uniquely awful situation at receiver, and they’d benefit more than anyone else in the league from Aiyuk, which is why Vegas seems to think they’d give up more than anyone else to acquire the star wide receiver. The Patriots should be willing and capable suitors for both the 49ers and Aiyuk to get what they want.
“The Chargers might just be desperate for a receiver,” Gable added. “I get that they just drafted Ladd McConkey. I get that they’ve used high picks for Quentin Johnston and even Josh Palmer. But Justin Herbert is a truly special quarterback who would benefit from a proven entity at receiver. After clearing house at the position, they actually have the cap space to give Aiyuk a big extension.”
Brandon Aiyuk requests trade. Who needs who more: 49ers or the WR?
On Tuesday’s episode of “The Herd,” FOX sports‘ Nick Wright offered his insight on the situation in the Bay.
“I think this will hurt Purdy a lot. Listen, they’ve paid everyone. C-Mac’s the most expensive running back in the league. They’ve paid Deebo. … Nicky Bosa’s contract is unfathomable, in the way it’s going to kick in shortly. So you have to pick and choose your spots. So I think this will be very painful for them.
“But he is an excellent player. It’s gonna be hard-pressed to find a team that couldn’t use him … and I imagine he’s gonna get traded.”
