"He's disengaged from the franchise, and they've voided the guaranteed money on his 2026 deal with no contention from the player. That's led most to conclude he'll be released, and his previous connection to quarterback Jayden Daniels makes a potential reunion in Washington entirely plausible. Jeremy Fowler from ESPN agrees. The senior insider named the Commanders as a team to watch if Aiyuk hits the open market."
"His turbulent past two years in San Francisco must be accounted for, but he's only 27 and has a transferable skill -- he's an elite route runner, assuming he becomes healthy enough to still beat corners. One team to potentially watch for Aiyuk is Washington. He is close with quarterback Jayden Daniels, his former teammate at Arizona State. And general manager Adam Peters -- a John Lynch disciple from his time in San Francisco -- understands the Aiyuk experience well."
Brandon Aiyuk is in a standoff with the San Francisco 49ers after the team voided guaranteed money on his 2026 contract and the player raised no contention, making his release likely. He is 27, recovering from injuries but regarded as an elite route runner with transferable skills. A previous connection with quarterback Jayden Daniels from Arizona State and Daniels' close bond with Aiyuk make Washington a plausible destination. General manager Adam Peters knows Aiyuk from his time in San Francisco, and the Commanders could pursue him if he is released, since they lack trade capital.
