Brandon Aiyuk continues to air grievances against what soon will be his former team.

The soon-to-be-former San Francisco 49ers receiver went to YouTube on Saturday to speak more on his feud with the 49ers. It’s a bit all over the place, but here’s a paraphrase of what the video contains:

• The 49ers are referred to as “That Team” and never by name.
• Aiyuk fired his agent, Ryan Williams, because of Williams’ affiliation with 49ers general manager John Lynch.
• John Lynch came to Aiyuk’s home.
• Aiyuk also said Kyle Shanahan had the temperament of a toddler

We’re almost into July, so we can probably predict far too early which players will win which NFL awards when the 2026 season ends. Or rather, who probably has a slim chance to.

Over at NFL.com, Bucky Brooks put together his long shots for major NFL awards of the year. These are things like now-Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray winning the Most Valuable Player Award, and New England Patriots wide receiver A.J. Brown winning the Offensive Player of the Year Award.

Long shots. One of those long shots is San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner, Brooks’ long shot for Comeback...

Before Brandon Aiyuk can get released from the San Francisco 49ers, he must apply for reinstatement due to being on the reserve/left squad list.

And he still has to do that.

On NFL Live, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Aiyuk has not yet applied for reinstatement.

“He is on the left squad list for the 49ers still,” Fowler said on NFL Live. “To get off that list, he has to apply to [NFL] Commissioner Roger Goodell; he has to file paperwork. I’m told that hasn’t happened.”

In order for Aiyuk to go to the Washington Commanders (like he’s [been saying...

Adam Schefter believes Joey Bosa has played his last down in the NFL
“Bosa turns 31 in July. Last year was the first time he appeared in double-digit games since 2021. The 49ers would pursue an edge rusher if Nick or Mykel Williams are behind the 8-ball on their rehab.

Some believe Mykel begins the season on the PUP list. If that were the case, a player like Jadeveon Clowney — who is no spring chicken himself at 33 — would make more sense as a replacement for Williams. Clowney has long been a stout run defender, but has shown...

The San Francisco 49ers are expected to be one of the NFL’s top competitors once again in 2026 after an impressive 13-win season in 2025, despite dealing with a variety of major injuries.

The 49ers saw Fred Warner, George Kittle, Brock Purdy, Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall, and Mykel Williams all miss substantial time with injuries last year, but still managed to come out with 13 wins and narrowly miss out on the division title.

They ended up winning a playoff game, beating the Philadelphia Eagles on the road in the wildcard series before bowing out to the Seattle Seahawks in...

2025 was a banner season for Christian McCaffrey. The former Carolina Panthers running back racked up the touches and touchdowns on his way to a huge season. The only blemish is a 3.9 yards per rush number that was the lowest for McCaffrey since the 2020 season with Carolina, when he carried the ball 59 times.

The San Francisco 49ers’ running game never seemed to get on track aside from a few moments during the 2025 season. McCaffrey was still a force for the 49ers’ offense and carried them into the divisional round.

Now the concern becomes following a 413-touch...

The San Francisco 49ers will be linked to any defensive lineman who is perceived to be available on the market. That goes from Kayvon Thibodeaux to Alex Highsmith to Jalen Carter, and Maxx Crosby.

One of the most popular names that’s been tied to the Niners this offseason is Nick Bosa’s brother, Joey. In late May, Nick said his brother is thinking more about his golf game than the NFL. On his recent podcast, ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared an update about Joey:

“It’s more likely than not that Joey Bosa has played his last NFL down. Now again, could...

There’s reason for significant doubt surrounding the San Francisco 49ers’ skill position players heading into the 2026 season.

With George Kittle, Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall all coming off injury-affected seasons, the 49ers’ group of playmakers is star-studded, but comes with significant durability concerns.

But those worries weren’t enough to knock them out of the top five of Bill Barnwell’s ranking of the league’s RB/WR/TE groups for ESPN.

Having ranked the 49ers fourth last year, Barnwell bumped San Francisco’s skill group down to five, but he poses the question of whether it is a collection of players worthy of a...

You read the headline right. On June 25th, I’m calling my shot and believe Osa Odighizuwa will lead the San Francisco 49ers in sacks in 2026. Yes, Nick Bosa is back, as is Mykel Williams, and the 49ers drafted pass rush specialist Romello Height, but it will be Odighizuwa who will pace the 49ers’ defensive line.

Last season, the pass rush for the defensive line sputtered badly after all the injuries. The 49ers made a sneaky good move by moving a third-round (round of death in the draft for the most part for the 49ers) pick for the defensive tackle....

When it comes to quarterbacks and respect in the NFL, San Francisco 49ers star Brock Purdy has generally been one of the more underrated signal-callers in recent years. Part of that is due to his supporting cast. There’s also the brain of head coach Kyle Shanahan.

But Purdy has developed into one of the NFL’s better quarterbacks, thanks to his creativity, brain, anticipation, and playmaking ability. In 2025, with his supporting cast dealing with injuries, Purdy managed to step up and lead the team to 13 wins after returning from an injury of his own. He threw for 2,167 yards,...

It feels like we’ve been getting daily updates about Brandon Aiyuk wanting to play for the Washington Commanders, despite being under contract for the San Francisco 49ers.

The latest post from Aiyuk’s Instagram on Wednesday said, “Cut me today, and I’ll sign with the Commanders tomorrow.” That is the kind of statement that will have Aiyuk on the 49ers past Christmas.

Former 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman broke down how we got here on his podcast. Sherman pushed back on Lesean McCoy sticking up for Aiyuk:

“I don’t know, Shady. I don’t know if I agree with that. They paid...

We knew the San Francisco 49ers would draft a wide receiver based on their pre-draft visits. Yet, despite not meeting with John Lynch or Kyle Shanahan, the team traded out of the first round to acquire a couple of more picks to select “their guy.”

Not Omar Cooper Jr. Not KC Concepcion. Not Chris Bell. De’Zhaun Stribling. That’s right, the player who was being mocked in the fourth round for much of the draft cycle ended up being the Niners first selection.

Think about the wide receivers the 49ers fielded last year. Demarcus Robinson, Jauan Jennings, and Kendrick Bourne —...
