49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has Unfollowed Commanders QB Jayden Daniels

Sports Illustrated sports

Key Points:

  • Brandon Aiyuk has damaged relationships with multiple parties, including his head coach, general manager, teammates, fans, agent, and the NFL Players' Association, and now has a public feud with Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels.
  • The conflict began after a 49ers fan verbally attacked Aiyuk in Daniels' presence, and Daniels laughed off the insult, which Aiyuk perceived as insufficient support, leading him to unfollow Daniels on Instagram and post a critical message.
  • Aiyuk left the 49ers, forfeiting $27 million in guarantees and risking repayment of $18.4 million in signing bonuses, intending to sign with the Commanders primarily because of his friendship with Daniels, who was expected to vouch for him.
  • With Aiyuk and Daniels now apparently unfollowing each other and publicly clashing, it jeopardizes Aiyuk’s chances of joining the Commanders, as Daniels was seen as the key figure who could manage Aiyuk's behavior on the team.
  • Aiyuk's ongoing personal and professional issues—including legal troubles, failure to hire an agent, and refusal to file for NFL reinstatement—combined with his recent social media outbursts, raise serious doubts about the future of his NFL career.
