San Francisco wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk posted a video to his Instagram Story on Sunday night in which he shouted, "Go Commanders! Go Commanders! Go commanders! " The video also included a photo of former quarterback Mark Rypien holding the Lombardi Trophy after Washington won Super Bowl XXVI.
Aiyuk has previously posted images of himself wearing a Washington hat and follows the team's account on the platform.
Contract background The 49ers signed Aiyuk to a four-year, $120 million contract extension in August 2024. The team later voided remaining guaranteed money after Aiyuk missed rehabilitation sessions for a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus suffered in 2024, according to the report.
San Francisco placed Aiyuk on the reserve/left team list in December after he stopped attending team facilities.
