Brandon Aiyuk May Have Just Told The Public His New Team
Brandon Aiyuk has spent months expressing his preference for the Washington Commanders, and his latest move might be his most direct yet. Fans and analysts who have been watching this saga for some time now have responded with a wave of reactions after the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver posted a picture of himself in a Commanders hat on social media.
It has been over two years since Aiyuk named Washington as his preferred destination during his contract dispute in 2024. It is through Jayden Daniels, his former Arizona State teammate, that the connection was established.
In the past few weeks, Aiyuk has unfollowed nearly everyone on Instagram, leaving only three: his wife, Daniels, and the Commanders. Here are the photos he released:

It is not about where Aiyuk wishes to go; San Francisco is holding onto him in order to recoup draft capital in a trade. The Commanders’ general manager Adam Peters, who previously worked for the 49ers, is not interested in sending over even a late-round pick, knowing that the 49ers will eventually have no choice but to release the 28-year-old.
In reaction to Aiyuk’s photos of him wearing a Commanders hat, which is a direct message to the 49ers, here’s how the NFL community responded:
Bros been dropping clues like the riddler for weeks
This is just getting out of hand. LOL#FreeAiyuk
He’s definitely not out of shape but he’s not in football shape either.
Why would the Commanders willingly trade for him at this point
I know I’m older but the let’s show our boxers off look still is like a WTF for me.
