Washington Commanders Get Brandon Aiyuk Trade Update Amid NFL Comeback

The last time we saw Brandon Aiyuk on a football field was in 2024, when he left a game with a serious knee injury. That came just weeks after he signed a four-year, $120 million contract ($76 million guaranteed) with the San Francisco 49ers. From that point on, however, everything went downhill. In July 2025, the 49ers voided roughly $27 million in contract guarantees after Aiyuk stopped following the team’s rehab protocol and missed important checkups following his surgery. San Francisco’s decision, while understandable, completely severed the relationship with Aiyuk.
