49ers WR Aiyuk Publicly Demands Washington Move
25 Jun
Summary
- Aiyuk uses social media to express desire to join Commanders.
- 49ers voided guaranteed money on Aiyuk's contract.
- Aiyuk remains under contract with 49ers through 2028.
Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has publicly declared his intention to join the Washington Commanders through his social media activity. Aiyuk, currently under contract with the San Francisco 49ers until the end of the 2028 season, has posted videos expressing his strong desire to play for Washington. These posts include wearing Commanders merchandise and making direct statements about signing with the team if released.
Earlier this year, the 49ers voided the guaranteed portion of Aiyuk's 2026 contract after he failed to report to team activities. General Manager John Lynch indicated in January that Aiyuk had likely played his last game for San Francisco. Despite these actions, Aiyuk remains under his four-year, $120 million extension signed before the 2024 season.
Any team seeking to acquire Aiyuk will need to negotiate a trade with the 49ers or wait for the team to potentially release him. Aiyuk's recent social media posts suggest he is hoping for the latter scenario to facilitate his move to Washington.
