Brandon Aiyuk Terminates Ryan Williams Agent Deal as Commanders Weigh 1-Year Flier

Summary
Saturday’s filing formally ended Brandon Aiyuk’s agreement with agent Ryan Williams, though league sources said the 28-year-old had not been working with him for some time.
Aiyuk remains under contract with the 49ers, so the filing does not by itself move him toward Washington; the Commanders previously viewed him only as a possible 1-year, incentive-heavy signing if San Francisco released him.
That interest has cooled as recent Instagram rants raised concerns about his mindset, turning what had looked like a low-risk option into a more complicated decision.
His football outlook is also uncertain: Aiyuk has not played since Week 7 of the 2024 season, more than 20 months ago, leaving questions about whether he can return to his earlier level.
With training camp 29 days away, Washington is more likely to keep scanning for receiver depth than make a clear push unless Aiyuk becomes available and satisfies both health and character concerns.
