Brandon Aiyuk fantasy football insight from ESPN NFL
Aiyuk suffered a torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus in his right knee during the 2024 season. The 49ers voided the remaining guaranteed money in his contract in July because he did not participate in rehab sessions for these injuries, and placed him on the reserve/left team list in December after he stopped attending team facilities. Aiyuk has publicly stated his relationship with the 49ers is irreparably damaged and will not return to team facilities except for the Oct. 19 Monday Night Football game against the Commanders. He has been actively campaigning to be released or traded to the Washington Commanders to play with quarterback Jayden Daniels, his former Arizona State teammate, stating he would sign with the Commanders 'tomorrow' if the 49ers released him. His status with the team remains uncertain heading into training camp (July 25), with the 49ers potentially deciding on his future at that time. Aiyuk is under contract through a four-year, $120 million extension signed in August 2024, but his availability and role are in limbo due to the ongoing contract dispute and injury rehabilitation situation.
