Brandon Aiyuk Drama: WR Taunts 49ers with 'Go Commanders' Chant
Aiyuk continues pressing for a move as the 49ers seek a trade partner and have voided more than $24 million in guarantees.
- Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk declared "Go Commanders!" in an Instagram Story video posted on Sunday night, making his preferred destination clear as he awaits a departure from the Niners.
- Tensions escalated after the Niners voided Aiyuk's guaranteed money for 2026 following his absence from rehab sessions while recovering from a torn ACL and MCL suffered in 2024.
- Aiyuk has taunted the Niners through social media videos, calling them "stupid" for paying him, while 49ers tight end George Kittle quipped, "I wouldn't be happy either after a team paid me a $130 million."
- San Francisco remains open to trading Aiyuk but refuses to release him without an offer, while the Commanders have shown little interest in a trade but may pursue him if released.
- Aiyuk could force a decision by reporting to Training Camp on July 25, where the team would likely release him rather than risk injury, though the situation remains in a holding pattern.
