A wide receiver under contract with the San Francisco 49ers posted a 3½-minute video on YouTube on Saturday in which he said his relationship with the team cannot be repaired and that he will not return to team facilities except on Oct. 19. In the video the player held a football bearing the Washington Commanders logo and said he would sign with the Commanders if released.

He also stated that his former agent, who maintains a business relationship with the team's general manager, contributed to the breakdown in relations. The player said the general manager recently visited his home, in part to apologize for actions by the head coach, and that the situation was not safe for him or his wife.
He offered no evidence of the visit.
timeline The 49ers signed the player to a four-year, $120 million contract extension in August 2024. The team voided the remaining guaranteed money in the contract last July after the player missed rehabilitation sessions for a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus in his right knee.
The team placed the player on the reserve/left team list in December after he stopped reporting to the facility. Veterans are scheduled to report to training camp on July 25. The player had posted an Instagram video on Wednesday saying he would sign with the Commanders immediately if released and repeated the claim in an Instagram story on Friday that he fired his former agent in November.
