Brandon Aiyuk Vows to Keep Posting on Social Media Amid 49ers Contract Dispute

Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk announced he will continue posting on social media even if he returns to the NFL, saying, “If I get a job back in the NFL, I’ll still be on my bulls‑t on social media.”

He accused the San Francisco 49ers of misleading fans and the media about the timing of his contract guarantee being voided, claiming the decision was made months before it was publicly disclosed in November. Aiyuk also publicized a flirtation with the Washington Commanders, referencing his former Arizona State teammate Jayden Daniels and the team’s general manager, Adam Peters.

The player has not taken the field in nearly two years, and analysts such as Colin Cowherd have used the controversy to criticize the 49ers' roster management, suggesting other teams handle drama and injuries more effectively.
