By going after Jayden Daniels, Brandon Aiyuk may be burning his bridge to the Commanders
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Brandon Aiyuk appears to have damaged his potential move to the Washington Commanders by publicly clashing with quarterback Jayden Daniels, his former Arizona State teammate.
- Aiyuk unfollowed Daniels on Instagram and posted confrontational videos directed at him, while Daniels responded by unfollowing Aiyuk and posting a negative gesture on social media.
- Daniels’ support is crucial for the Commanders to pursue Aiyuk, and current tensions suggest Daniels may no longer want Aiyuk on the team, reducing the likelihood of the transfer.
- The conflict may have been sparked by a 49ers fan's hostile remarks toward Aiyuk during a video featuring Daniels, which Aiyuk reportedly found upsetting.
- Aiyuk’s move to the Commanders remains uncertain until the 49ers release him, which depends on his reinstatement from the reserve/left squad list and his attendance at training camp.
