Brandon Aiyuk is back at it. The 49ers receiver has posted (and apparently deleted) another video to his Instagram story. The latest video included no overt references to the 49er, the Commanders, or any other team. In it , Aiyuk enters a closet that is empty, except for a backpack on a shelf. He opens it and begins pulling out cash and throwing it on the floor. Eventually, he closes the backpack, puts it over his shoulders, and leaves. The video. as of this posting, is gone from Aiyuk's Instagram page. Aiyuk has posted several videos in recent weeks. At least two of them attacked the 49ers. (Those have been deleted.) More recently, he has posted videos in which he praises the Commanders and expresses an interest in signing with them. He continues to be under contract with the 49ers. They face no decisions about Aiyuk until training camp opens — if Aiyuk reports. At that point, they'll have to decide whether to let him practice, trade him, or cut him. If Aiyuk practices and suffers a season-ending injury, the 49ers will owe him more than $26 million for 2026. It's unknown whether the Commanders are interested in Aiyuk. He and quarterback Jayden Daniels were teammates at Arizona State in 2019.
