San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk posted videos on social media Saturday that referenced Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. One video appeared to address Daniels by his jersey number and rejected any suggestion of following team rules set by the quarterback.
A second post tagged Daniels and contained additional criticism. A third post expressed interest in playing together, stating a willingness to remain available for the full season.
The 49ers signed Aiyuk to a four-year, $120 million extension in August 2024. The team later voided remaining guaranteed money after Aiyuk missed rehabilitation sessions for a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus suffered during the 2024 season. Aiyuk was placed on the reserve/left team list in December after he stopped reporting to the team facility.
Earlier this month he posted videos criticizing the 49ers for the extension and suggesting the team feared releasing him.
Before the injury, Aiyuk recorded 24 catches for 374 yards in the 2024 season. In 2023 he finished with 1,342 receiving yards, 75 receptions and seven touchdowns, helping the 49ers reach the Super Bowl. The 49ers have sought trade partners for Aiyuk. General manager John Lynch stated that Aiyuk is done with the team.
