Disgruntled receiver Brandon Aiyuk calls the 49ers 'stupid' in his latest social media post
- On Tuesday, Brandon Aiyuk accused the 49ers of being "stupid" on Instagram, claiming the team is angry because they paid him $50 million in eight months before voiding his 2027 guarantees.
- The 28-year-old receiver's estrangement follows a torn ACL and MCL suffered during the 2024 campaign, which led the team to void his guaranteed money after he failed to abide by their rehabilitation schedule.
- San Francisco placed Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list in December after he went incommunicado, with no further money owed until a $25 million option bonus becomes due Sept. 1.
- Fueling trade speculation, Aiyuk has posted pictures wearing a Washington Commanders hat to join close friend and quarterback Jayden Daniels, though the 49ers have shown no urgency to release him.
- ESPN's Nick Wagoner reported Tuesday that the team has no "hard deadline" to release Aiyuk, even as general manager John Lynch has stated the receiver played his last snap for San Francisco.
