Brandon Aiyuk and Jayden Daniels have a close personal relationship, and Aiyuk’s name came up during Washington Commanders OTAs. Aiyuk has been linked to the Commanders since his relationship with the San Francisco 49ers soured, with contact reportedly cut off. Washington is said to be unwilling to trade a late-round pick to bring him in quickly, creating an impasse. Daniels declined to provide insight, stating he has no sense of Aiyuk’s situation and that Aiyuk’s football future is out of his control. The 49ers remain resolute, and the June 1 date may not force a resolution because the team is not obligated to act until a roster bonus is due before Week 1.
""I don't have a sense on it. That is my brother. We have a personal relationship, but his football future is out of my control." It was the right answer and the most politically correct."
"Aiyuk has been almost constantly linked to the Commanders since his relationship with the San Francisco 49ers soured. All contact has been cut off, and the bitterness is painfully obvious. However, he is still under contract, as the organization holds out for a draft pick in return."
"That hasn't been forthcoming as yet. The Commanders are reportedly unwilling to send over a late-round selection to get Aiyuk into the building quicker. It's a frustrating impasse with no signs of a successful resolution. And it's not a great look for anybody."
"Some have touted the upcoming June 1 date, which impacts how much dead money teams take on next season, as a potential tipping point. Don't be so sure. The Niners don't owe Aiyuk anything until his roster bonus is due just before Week 1. They could hold onto him for months if they wanted to."
