Brandon Aiyuk's social media posts complicate NFL future with 49ers
Summary

Brandon Aiyuk has been publicly expressing his desire to join the Washington Commanders through social media. He remains on the 49ers' reserve/left squad list and has yet to apply for reinstatement, which is required before he can join a team. Analysts note that his social media activity may be harmful to his NFL prospects, with reports indicating a lack of interest from other teams. Currently, Aiyuk is viewed as untradeable, and the 49ers have not committed to any actions regarding his future. He may have to consider signing a veteran minimum deal, a significant drop from his previous contract valued at $120 million.
