Garafolo Urges 49ers’ Brandon Aiyuk to Report as Agent Rumor Is Refuted

Insiders say showing up would put lost guarantees back in play.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo told The Rich Eisen Show that Aiyuk should report to team facilities to regain contract protections tied to injury rehab.
  • Garafolo said reports that agent Ryan Williams dropped Aiyuk are false and that Williams remains ready to act if the receiver engages.
  • Washington has shown interest, but talks have stalled because the Commanders prefer a release and the 49ers want a trade.
  • Teams question Aiyuk’s readiness after a major 2024 knee injury, and some doubt he could pass a physical without team-supervised evaluations.
  • Upcoming team activities could pressure a decision because attending workouts can restore guarantees and give clubs the medical access they need before considering a deal.
