Brandon Aiyuk continues campaign for 49ers exit, tells team to cut him so he can 'sign with Commanders tomorrow'

You can say this for Brandon Aiyuk, he has at least been clear about his wishes.The San Francisco 49ers wide receiver continued his campaign for a way out of the team, and onto the Washington Commanders, on Wednesday with a series of posts on his Instagram story. They began with a caption reading “I’m a lover I ain’t with the hating,” a selfie with Future’s “Unconditional Love” playing and a picture of Deion Sanders in a Washington uniform.

His next posts featured a football with a Commanders logo and the following captions:“The best sport in the world The best league in the world n the best team in the world”“And I almost forgot.. The best WR in the world”It’s not hard to read between the lines there.Aiyuk proceeded to post a video in which he basically challenged the Niners to cut him so he can move to the Commanders:“And if I’m crazy or if I’m capping, tell them boys cut me today and I’ll sign with the Commanders tomorrow and we’ll see who’s capping.”

He has previously posted criticisms of the 49ers accusing them of being afraid of letting him go, with “Stop running from the belt” as a representative example.Aiyuk is still on the disastrous four-year, $120 million contract the Niners gave him in 2024, which has already seen its guarantees voided amid his ongoing divorce from the team. San Francisco general manager John Lynch said months ago Aiyuk has played his last snap with the team after missing the entire 2025 season.

So why is Aiyuk still on the Niners and not released? He can pretty much blame Brandon Aiyuk for that. As David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard broke down, Aiyuk is on the reserve/left squad
