BIG Update on the Brandon Aiyuk trade window
.
.
What does June 1 actually mean in the NFL, and why does it matter for a potential Brandon Aiyuk trade?
In this video, David Lombardi breaks down the NFL's June 1 salary cap rules and explains how they impact trade decisions across the league. Using Brandon Aiyuk's recent social media activity and the ongoing trade speculation as a real-world example, David dives into the financial mechanics that could influence the 49ers' timing if they decide to move the star wide receiver.
Topics covered include:
• The difference between pre-June 1 and post-June 1 salary cap treatment.
• How dead money is allocated across future seasons.
• Why post-June 1 designations exist for releases but not trades.
• How waiting until June 2 could create additional cap flexibility for the 49ers.
• The team's long-term strategy of maximizing a rapidly rising NFL salary cap.
• Why the Deebo Samuel trade was handled differently.
• The reality of free agency's "waves" and the current market.
If you've heard rumors about Brandon Aiyuk, the Washington Commanders, or the 49ers potentially making another major roster move, this video explains the financial side of the equation.
