Brandon Aiyuk’s future with the San Francisco 49ers remains uncertain. The wide receiver has been vocal about wanting to part ways with the franchise over the past couple of weeks.
According to reports, Aiyuk prefers to be traded to the Washington Commanders. On Monday’s episode of “Pardon My Take,” 49ers tight end George Kittle did not mince his words while talking about the wide receiver. He also warned the Commanders about what’s in store if they do decide to trade for Aiyuk.
Thanks for the submission!
“The last time I saw Aiyuk was, call it week 6,7 or 8,” Kittle said. “I don’t really know. I use to make it a habit of mine to go out early in the morning before meetings to watch him train because he’d always be out there early, and I watched him run over 22 miles an hour and stop on a dime.

“So, he’s still got it, or at least that was a year, eight months ago, so I don’t really know. But you guys have fun with that, I guess. You have fun with all that comes with it.”

On Sunday, Brandon Aiyuk posted a video on Instagram cheering on the Commanders and chanting:
“Go, Commanders! Go Commanders! Go Commanders! Raise Hail! Take Command!”
According to ESPN, he also shared a photo of retired quarterback Mark Rypien with the Lombardi Trophy when he helped the Commanders win Super Bowl XXVI during the 1991 season.
Aiyuk missed the entire 2025 campaign after an ACL and MCL injury during the 2024 season. After the 49ers voided guaranteed money for 2026 in his contract, he was placed on the reserve squad list in December.
LeSean McCoy shares his thoughts on Brandon Aiyuk after his viral Commanders video
On Sunday’s episode of “Speakeasy,” former NFL running back LeSean McCoy discussed Brandon Aiyuk’s social media antics, where he cheered on the Washington Commanders and posted Mark Rypien’s photo.
McCoy extended his support to the wide receiver amid the drama surrounding his potential trade.
“I ain’t gonna lie, he’s become one of my favorite wide receivers,” McCoy said. “It’s time to fight back. Don’t let these owners, man, just try to own you. Those days are over. If you’d like to move to a different team, that’s fine. Let’s go Commanders.”
In 2024, Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million extension with the 49ers. In five seasons, he recorded 4,305 yards on 294 receptions and 25 touchdowns.
