Brandon Aiyuk posted a YouTube video Saturday claiming GM John Lynch came to his house and blaming his former agent for the ongoing rift with San Francisco.
Things with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers have completely deteriorated, arguably past the point of return. The saga still somehow isn’t over though with Aiyuk continually publicly escalating the feud.
The latest came in a 3.5 minute video dropped by Aiyuk on YouTube Saturday, where he claimed that relationship with the 49ers will never be fixed.
Moreover, he went so far as to boldly claim that Niners general manager John Lynch repeatedly showed up at his home and that it did not feel safe for him or his wife.
It comes amid a major public push by Aiyuk to campaign for the Washington Commanders to sign him, reuniting him with quarterback Jayden Daniels, his former teammate at Arizona State.
The video featured Aiyuk holding a football with the Commanders logo and claimed he would sign tomorrow if San Francisco would release him,
He then went on to blame his former agent Ryan Williams for the dispute, claiming he fired him back in November. Despite this, Williams remains listed as Aiyuk's agent in the NFLPA directory.
To read more about the bizarre saga’s latest chapter, here is the full story from 49ers Roundtable writer Tyler Fox.
Things have never repaired themselves after Aiyuk signed a massive four-year, $120 million extension back in August of 2024.
The two sides haven’t seen eye-to-eye really since, with San Francisco going as far as to void his remaining guaranteed money last July after Aiyuk failed to participate in rehab for his torn ACL, MCL, and meniscus in his right knee.
He was placed on the reserve/left team list by the team back in December after he stopped reporting to the facility.
It remains to be seen if anything will change by the July 25 deadline with the 49ers vets must report to training camp, and a resolution may be expected ahead of that deadline – if at all possible.
