Wide receiver Aiyuk demands trade from the 49ers

The exchange comes after the wide receiver was a healthy scratch for the 2^nd time in 5 days, not being on the field in the Bears’ 40-20 victory against the Washington Commanders yesterday. Bears chiefs had told Chase at the beginning of the week that he would be inactive vs. the Commanders and insisted that he remain away from the franchise while the team prepared for the clash on Thursday.

A week ago, Claypool shared that he is not happy with how the coaches in Chicago are using him in the team’s offense, and immediately, the wide receiver was made inactive after being told by the franchise not to appear in the Chicago’s Week 4 match vs. the Denver Broncos.
