Brandon Aiyuk appears to aim more harsh comments toward 49ers - ESPN

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — For the second time in three days, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk seemingly aimed some harsh comments at the San Francisco 49ers for how they have handled his situation over the past couple of years.

On Tuesday, Aiyuk again posted a video to Instagram. This time, it was a 30-second video in which Aiyuk appears to call the 49ers «stupid» and «dumb.»

«You wanna know they really mad though?» Aiyuk said in the video. «They mad 'cause they stupid. They dumb. They mad that they paid me $50 million in eight months and then voided my guarantees for 2027. And I'm about to be on a new team in 2027. They mad at theyselves for real. [SLUR] acting like they mad at me but they stupid ass mad at theyself.»

It's unclear if Aiyuk misspoke when discussing playing for a new team in 2027 as the expectation has been that he will eventually shake loose from the 49ers at some point before or during the 2026 season.

After a lengthy stalemate, the 49ers signed Aiyuk to a four-year, $120 million contract extension in August 2024. That deal included a $23 million signing bonus. Since, Aiyuk has earned $48.15 million, according to OverTheCap.

Aiyuk's latest posting comes after he took to Instagram on Sunday to comment on the ongoing standoff between him and the 49ers. In that video, which lasted about a minute and a half, Aiyuk never explicitly mentions the Niners but spends much of the video describing someone as «little boys» and «female dogs» and implies that the team is scared to release him because it's afraid that Aiyuk could come back to haunt it if he lands elsewhere.

San Francisco and Aiyuk have been at odds for almost a year with the situation escalating last July when the 49ers voided the remaining guaranteed money in
