SANTA CLARA, Calif.—The San Francisco 49ers have no intention of accommodating star wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s trade request and remain committed to getting a long-term extension done with one of their most important offensive players.

General Manager John Lynch said there are no absolutes but that the 49ers “expect Brandon to be an integral part of our team like he has been, and are excited about that.”
