Summary
George Kittle said any team trading for Brandon Aiyuk can have "fun with that," signaling San Francisco expects to move the wide receiver after GM John Lynch said his time with the 49ers is effectively over.
The split deepened after the 49ers voided Aiyuk's remaining guaranteed money, saying he failed to attend rehab for the torn ACL, MCL and meniscus he suffered in 2024.
Washington has remained a frequent rumored destination: Aiyuk recently posted "Go Commanders" videos and other pro-Commanders content while publicly calling the 49ers "dumb" and "stupid" for giving him his extension.
San Francisco already placed Aiyuk on the reserve-left team list in December after he stopped reporting, leaving a trade unresolved despite his 1,342-yard 2023 breakout and no return yet from the knee injury.
