Brandon Aiyuk unlikely to sign with Commanders after social media fallout

Brandon Aiyuk's prospects of joining the Washington Commanders have diminished. After hiring agent Drew Rosenhaus, Aiyuk sought reinstatement to the NFL and met with the San Francisco 49ers. However, tensions remain high as he publicly disavows a return to San Francisco and faced backlash for a social media post targeting Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. An NFL insider reports that this incident has effectively eliminated Washington as a potential landing spot for Aiyuk who recently expressed interest in playing with Daniels. Aiyuk hasn't played since his knee injury during the 2024 season but claims to be fully recovered.
