"It was expected that [Brandon] Aiyuk could return for the latter part of this season, but he has remained on the PUP list. His presence at the team's training facility has become scarce; sources say Aiyuk typically works out early in the morning and departs before other 49ers players arrive. Numerous members of the organization - including some 49ers players - have reached out to Aiyuk in recent weeks in an unsuccessful attempt to bring him back into the fold, one source said."
"Adam Peters knows Aiyuk extremely well. So does quarterback Jayden Daniels, his old college teammate at Arizona State and close friend to this day. The stars seem to be aligning for a potential switch to Washington, and this represents a can't-miss opportunity to reunite the signal-caller with one of his most trusted targets. Pairing Aiyuk with second-team All-Pro wideout Terry McLaurin represents a mouth-watering proposition if he gets a better run of luck on the health front."
"Russini's report revealed that Aiyuk is skipping meetings, and his relationship with those in power has soured to the level that San Francisco voided his guaranteed money for 2026. This wasn't disputed by the wideout, fueling rumors of a potential breakup during the offseason."
Brandon Aiyuk has remained on the 49ers' PUP list and has been largely absent from team facilities, often working out early and leaving before teammates arrive. Multiple organization members, including players, have unsuccessfully attempted to re-engage him. San Francisco voided Aiyuk's 2026 guaranteed money after his relationship with team decision-makers soured, and Aiyuk did not dispute that action. The breakdown in the relationship raises the possibility of an offseason breakup and trade. Strong personal connections to Jayden Daniels and familiarity with Adam Peters make a move to Washington a realistic option, where pairing with Terry McLaurin could be impactful if health allows.
