Brandon Aiyuk deletes viral videos after public feud with 49ers

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk posted Instagram videos criticizing the San Francisco 49ers, calling the staff “little boys” and “female dogs” and complaining that the team voided $50 million of guaranteed money in his four‑year, $120 million extension after he missed rehab sessions for a torn ACL. 49ers general manager John Lynch said the remarks suggested Aiyuk could be playing his last snap for the club, and the videos were later removed from his account. Reports indicate the deletions may have followed talks between Aiyuk’s agent and the team. The Washington Commanders have emerged as the leading suitor, citing Aiyuk’s familiarity with quarterback Jayden Daniels and GM Adam Peters.

The controversy follows Aiyuk’s 2024 injury and a period on the reserve/left‑team list, during which he has not appeared in a game. His on‑field production to date includes 4,350 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns over five seasons with San Francisco.
