Until Brandon Aiyuk signs a new deal with his current team or is traded to another franchise, the conversation surrounding him will not fade away. He continues to show how unhappy he is about his current situation with the 49ers; however, the team has yet to budge.
Aiyuk is simply doing whatever he can to get a deal, even if it means showing he would like to join forces with the Washington Commanders and their rookie quarterback.
He has also listed the Pittsburgh Steelers as another possible option.
“If not a Niners uniform probably a Washington Commanders uniform,” Aiyuk said on “The Pivot” podcast when discussing his future. “If not a Washington Commanders uniform, probably Steelers uniform.”
As of right now, Aiyuk is currently slated to play under his fifth-year option this season. The holdup on a new extension is reportedly is asking price.
During that same interview, Brandon Aiyuk talked about the possibility of playing with Daniels in Washington if he and the 49ers went their separate ways.
“Shit, there’s a quarterback right there,” Aiyuk said while looking in Daniels’ direction. “I’m thinking about what I can do with him. I’m thinking about, if the Niners don’t want me to come back to play with them, I’m thinking about what I can do. I know what I can do.”
