Brandon AiyukWR
Aiyuk has been posting increasingly erratic social media content and has publicly stated he wants to be released by the 49ers to sign with the Washington Commanders to play with Jaden Daniels, his best friend. However, the 49ers can place him on the left squad list, which allows the team to keep him on the roster without paying him or counting him against the cap, giving San Francisco complete control over his situation and preventing him from playing elsewhere. Despite these off-field issues, George Kittle noted that Aiyuk is running faster than he ever ran before his injury, suggesting he retains his athletic ability.
