Brandon AiyukWRSF
Aiyuk remains on the 49ers' reserve/did not report list while publicly declaring his intention to sign with the Commanders; he has taken social media jabs at the 49ers organization, general manager John Lynch, and former agent Ryan Williams. Despite strong ties to Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (former Arizona State teammate) and general manager Adam Peters (who was the 49ers' vice president of player personnel when they drafted Aiyuk in 2020), Commanders sources indicated the team would only consider a short-term, highly incentivized contract given the circumstances and uncertainty around his performance and behavior.

Aiyuk remains on the reserve/did not report list for the 49ers. While still technically a member of the 49ers, Aiyuk has taken jabs on social media at the team, its general manager, John Lynch, and his former agent, Ryan Williams. Multiple people with knowledge of the Commanders' thinking said the team thought Aiyuk could be a potential boost to its roster, but couldn't bank on that given the circumstances. Those sources said at the time that if Aiyuk became available, Washington would consider a short-term, highly incentivized contract for him.
