Overview
- The 49ers voided Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees and placed him on the reserve/left‑squad list after he stopped reporting to team facilities, a move that stops his pay while keeping the team’s contractual control.
- Aiyuk has publicly said he fired agent Ryan Williams in November, and NFLPA records were updated in late June to show Williams no longer represents him, leaving Aiyuk officially without an agent.
- Over the weekend, Aiyuk posted videos and Instagram rants blaming his ex‑agent and parts of the NFLPA, accusing 49ers GM John Lynch of an unannounced home visit without providing evidence.
- Those public attacks have damaged his league standing and led teams to view him as effectively untradeable because clubs want current medical access and behavioral assurances before taking on his contract or trading for him.
- Washington previously signaled it would consider a one‑year, incentive‑heavy deal only if the 49ers released him, but multiple outlets report that interest has cooled and any return will likely require a short prove‑it deal and proof of fitness.
