"Brandon Aiyuk didn't quit on the 49ers. They voided his guarantees, and he still returned to the team from July to October because he wanted to play. They never cleared him. They didn't want him to play. When that was clear, he left. He's not the bad guy."
"Aiyuk wants to play in Washington, and general manager Adam Peters is reportedly well aware of the fact. Quarterback Jayden Daniels, his old college teammate and close friend, has publicly lobbied for the move, but the San Francisco 49ers are clearly going to hold out for as long as they can before releasing him."
Brandon Aiyuk has maintained silence regarding his future while speculation mounts about joining the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Jayden Daniels, his college teammate, has publicly advocated for the move. The San Francisco 49ers have portrayed Aiyuk negatively for cutting contact and staying away from the team. However, insider Grant Cohn reveals a different narrative: the 49ers voided Aiyuk's guarantees, and despite his return from July to October, they never cleared him to play. When Aiyuk realized the team didn't want him on the field, he departed. Commanders GM Adam Peters, who knows Lynch and Shanahan well, will investigate the situation thoroughly before making decisions about acquiring Aiyuk.
