Overview
- Aiyuk posted on Instagram on Thursday that he had bought a $10 million estate in Loudoun County near the Washington Commanders’ facility, a claim multiple outlets report and say is not independently verified.
- He remains under contract with the San Francisco 49ers on the reserve/left‑squad list, a designation that halts pay, preserves team control, and requires Aiyuk to apply for reinstatement and submit to medical clearance before he can sign elsewhere.
- NFL teams have largely cooled interest because Aiyuk has not played since an October 2024 knee injury and has not provided up‑to‑date medical exams or recent game tape, so any deal would likely be low risk and incentive based.
- Aiyuk’s summer social‑media campaign, including public barbs at quarterback Jayden Daniels, has complicated his trade market and prompted Washington and other clubs to seek behavioral assurances in addition to medical checks.
- The 49ers have little immediate reason to move him and general manager John Lynch said the team will focus on players who are present, making training camp attendance or a formal reinstatement the most likely paths to force a resolution.
