The performances of the first-round rookie quarterbacks, including Chicago‘s Caleb Williams, Washington’s Jayden Daniels, New England‘s Drake Maye, Minnesota‘s J.J. McCarthy, Atlanta‘s Michael Penix Jr., and Denver‘s Bo Nix will be watched closely.

In terms of contract situations to monitor, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb and 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk all could be in line for new deals these next few weeks — or lingering drama if they don’t get them.

As always, there are buzzy QB competitions in store as well, highlighted by Russell Wilson vs. Justin Fields in Pittsburgh. Another to keep an eye on is Gardner Minshew vs. Aidan O’Connell in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Maye, Nix, McCarthy and Penix will all try to push presumed starters as much as possible in their camps, and here’s a wild card: Daniel Jones vs. Drew Lock with the Giants.

    It’s unusual for a player as good as Aiyuk to be available, if he will actually be available. If Aiyuk moves, it’s a rare season-shifting move in mid-to-late July.

    Here are the five most likely landing spots. We start with the 49ers, then it gets fun.

  • Brandon Aiyuk has grown into a great WR with 49ers

    Brandon Aiyuk, 26, has been with the Niners his entire career. They drafted him with the 25th overall pick in 2020, and he’s produced for them. He has 269 receptions for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns for San Francisco over his four-year career. Aiyuk has managed to find a way to materially improve his game every single season, but he took a huge jump forward when Brock Purdy ascended to the starting quarterback position in 2022.

    In Aiyuk’s first two seasons with the Niners, which were Purdy-free, he tallied 118 receptions for 1,574 yards and 10 touchdowns. But in his two most recent seasons, in which Aiyuk had Purdy slinging passes his way, he tallied 153 receptions for 2,357 yards and 15 touchdowns.
