Brandon Aiyuk claims he fired agent amid ongoing 49ers standoff
Summary

Brandon Aiyuk, the 49ers wide receiver, asserted on social media that he no longer has an agent, claiming to have terminated his relationship with Ryan Williams of Athletes First. However, NFL Players Association records still list Williams as Aiyuk's representative, indicating that formal documentation to end the agreement has not been completed. Aiyuk's dissatisfaction follows tensions after missing rehabilitation for a knee injury, leading him to critique the 49ers and express interest in joining the Washington Commanders. The 49ers have not shown urgency to release Aiyuk, preferring a trade instead of letting him leave without compensation.
