Brandon Aiyuk shouts out Commanders in latest social media video as 49ers trade saga drags on

Brandon Aiyuk continues to stir the NFL offseason rumors report after yet another social media video, this time shouting out a specific team.

San Francisco 49ers GM John Lynch had noted in the past that it’s "safe to say" Aiyuk has "played his last snap with the Niners" as the polarizing wide receiver voices his frustrations with the organization.

In his latest Instagram video, which was posted on his Stories on Sunday  night, Aiyuk was heard yelling, "Go Commanders! Go Commanders! Go Commanders! Raise Hail! Take Command!"

Then, Aiyuk posted a photo of Washington’s former quarterback, Mark Rypien, hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy after winning Super Bowl XXVI.

Lynch has been looking for a trade partner for Aiyuk, who signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the 49ers in August 2024. But it probably isn’t helping that Lynch not only said Aiyuk is done, but these public displays of displeasure from Aiyuk don’t paint him in the best light despite his talent.

49ERS TO PART WAYS WITH BRANDON AIYUK AFTER INJURY AND CONTRACT TURMOIL, GM SAYS

Aiyuk began speaking out about his frustration with San Francisco earlier this month, including videos where he called the 49ers "dumb" and "stupid" for giving him his extension. He also claims the team is scared to release him because of how he might perform elsewhere in the league.

The Commanders are a squad Aiyuk has invoked multiple times in his social media outbursts, hinting that he wants to once again play with Jayden Daniels, his ex-Arizona State quarterback who now stars for Washington. Daniels and Aiyuk remain close friends, and the latter has shown himself wearing a Commanders hat.

Also, Aiyuk follows just five accounts on Instagram, with the Commanders and Daniels being two of them.

The rift between Aiyuk and the 49ers has gone on for almost a full year now after the team voided the remaining guaranteed money he was owed on his extension. The 49ers did so after Aiyuk didn’t participate in rehab sessions for a torn ACL, MCL and meniscus he suffered in his right knee during the 2024 season.

Then, the 49ers placed Aiyuk on the reserve/left team list back in December after he stopped showing up to the team facility.

It’s been a pain point for the team and has trickled down into questions that media have to ask other 49ers stars, including tight end George Kittle. During an interview with Barstool Sports’ "Pardon My Take" podcast, Kittle was asked how Aiyuk looked the last time he saw him on a field. The question came from PFT Commenter, a die-hard Commanders fan.

"I used to make it a habit of mine to go out early in the morning before meetings to watch him train because he’d always be out there early, and I watched him run over 22 miles an hour and watched him stop on a dime. He’s still got it, but that was eight months ago, so I don’t really know. You guys have fun with that, I guess."

Thus, the Aiyuk saga continues in the Bay Area, with a decision ultimately coming. It’s just a matter of when.

Before getting injured in 2024, Aiyuk tallied 24 catches for 374 yards during that season. He broke out with 1,342 yards on 75 receptions and seven touchdowns during the 2023 season for the 49ers, helping them reach the Super Bowl.
