“Dude is starting to scare me”: NFL fans react as Brandon Aiyuk reveals terminating SRA with agent amid contract issue with 49ers
Aiyuk says he fired his agent last November and blames ties to general manager John Lynch for the contract standoff, which has lasted nearly a year.
- On Saturday, Brandon Aiyuk posted a video on YouTube insisting his relationship with the San Francisco 49ers is irreparable, stating he will not return to team facilities except for an Oct. 19 game against the Washington Commanders.
- Despite claiming on Friday that he fired agent Ryan Williams in November, Williams remains listed as Aiyuk's representative in the NFLPA agent directory, with Aiyuk blaming Williams and General Manager John Lynch for escalating the conflict.
- In his video, Aiyuk alleged that Lynch visited his home uninvited to apologize for Head Coach Kyle Shanahan, labeling Lynch an "ole weirdo" and stating the situation felt unsafe for his wife, though he offered no evidence.
- Signs point to the Niners releasing the 28-year-old, who remains under a four-year, $120 million contract extension signed in August 2024. The Commanders cannot publicly express interest due to tampering rules.
- Questions persist regarding Aiyuk's performance after the 2024 torn ACL and MCL, especially as the Niners previously voided his guaranteed money following missed rehab sessions. Washington's front office may harbor reservations about off-field distractions.
