On Sunday, Jahan Dodson was the primary target for a short completion thrown by Jayden Daniels in the Washington Commanders’ second game. Pre-season game. Four days later, Dodson was traded away from Washington after being traded to the rival Philadelphia Eagles.
Initially, the transaction seemed as simple as the Chiefs receiving some future draft picks in exchange for a former first-round pick, which wasn’t enough to impress the team’s new coaching staff. But the trade could also be the first domino to fall in a potential trade involving Brandon Iuk.
included Dodson Trading A potential trade involving 49ers’ receiver Iuk was a future third-round pick the Chiefs could use. As it stands now, the 49ers are still trying to come to terms with Aiyuk, with the Steelers’ best trade proposal reportedly on deck. But the drama is not over.
According to Mike Silver San Francisco ChronicleIt’s still possible that Ayyuk ends up in Washington.
“My update is that everything is still on the table, including all the trades you’ve heard about…that Steelers scenario…I wouldn’t rule Washington out,” Friday said on KNBR.
Generals and Ayuk have been linked together since Ayuk said Washington and Pittsburgh. Two teams he wants to play for If the 49ers trade him. Aiyuk wants to reunite with Daniels, his former college teammate at Arizona State.
If the 49ers are willing to make something happen, Washington is in position to make a move to IUC. They have more than $37 million in cap space and at least one player the 49ers would probably want in exchange for Iuk. Timmy Brown became a four-year wideout when he caught a 42-yard pass from Daniels in Washington’s preseason opener.
In a perfect world, the Generals wouldn’t have to part with Brown or anyone else in this situation (rookie Luke McCaffrey — the younger brother of 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey — could be an option here). But it’s clear the 49ers want a player who can somewhat fill Iuk’s shoes, and Brown fits the bill. Losing Brown isn’t ideal, but returning could be a starting offense that includes both Iuk and fellow wideout Terry McClaurin.
Now the generals are serious about winning. During free agency and during April’s draft, the team showed that Daniels and several other players they selected were expected to contribute immediately. Given their current state of mind, it’s fair to wonder if Dodson’s trade was a stepping stone to making Iuk’s arrival in Washington a reality. If nothing else, the Generals have put themselves in a better position to get him.
