Brandon Aiyuk privately voiced frustrations with the 49ers as early as 2022, according to @JNay_LSS
Aiyuk called the team’s culture a “joke” and said they were “not about winning”

Brandon Aiyuk is not mentally ill. One of his foundational principles for how he conducts his life is respect.
He will not surround himself with people who do not respect him.
To anyone reading this, if you felt deeply disrespected to the degree Brandon Aiyuk has, I'm sure you may feel closer to him than you currently think.

And what the fuck does he want us to do with that. Like every other Auburn fam we move on. Im sure dickhead could do a couple of teams like this in the SEC…
"I think Auburn is straight up having the worst time of anyone in college football in the 2020s." 😳
The case against the Tigers this decade:
- 0-12 against rivals Alabama & Georgia
- 4-26 against ranked opponents (fewer than Vandy, Kentucky, and Arkansas)
- 3 coaches fired with eight-figure buyouts
- 0 bowl game victories
Auburn fans... how we feeling about this?
Albert Breer calls the Brandon Aiyuk - 49ers situation “strange with a capital S”
“I wanted to expound a bit on the Aiyuk situation. I, for one, don’t understand why he didn’t report to the Niners in the spring so they’d be forced to cut him. The deal Aiyuk did in 2024, for obvious reasons, is no longer worth the paper it was written on.
The four-year, $120 million extension, agreed to at the end of the summer of 2024, had a $24.935 million option bonus, $1.215 million base salary, and $750,000 workout bonus for this year. The option bonus and base salary (adding up to $26.15 million) vested as fully guaranteed on April 1, 2025. But his actions thereafter voided those guarantees, so the Niners can now walk away without responsibility for any of it.
Clearly the team doesn’t want him around. So if he was around, and they wanted to get rid of him, they’d have to cut him, at which point, he’d be able to go sign with whomever he wanted to (presumably, the Commanders would be his landing spot, given what he has put out there and his relationship with Daniels). For some reason, though, he’d rather post on social media about the $50 million he collected for eight months of work, or why he believes the Niners won’t let him go rather than forcing them to. Like I said last week, it’s strange with a capital S.”
Of all the people you interviewed you interviewed Cohn biased bitch ass lol 😂 at least get someone who is neutral. Send the fucking pick and you can have Aiyuk crazy ass.
49ers SI reporter @grantcohn was on with @BMitchandFinlay and gave his thoughts on why the Brandon Aiyuk situation went nuclear:
He says SF has a "frat boyish, corporate" culture where you have to "bend the knee," and Aiyuk refused.
"De'Vondre Campbell straight up quit the team mid-game a couple of years ago and people called him crazy, but it's like when it's one guy after another, it makes you feel like there's a clique of in-group players on this team, and then there's everyone else."
Highly recommend watching the full interview as Grant provides a ton of insight on the situation. Full interview will be linked in the replies.

George Kittle says Mike Evans and Brock Purdy have already built a connection at practice:
“Mike and Brock immediately established a rhythm, which was really fun to watch.”

Gilbert Arenas says Wemby needs to work with Dirk Nowitzki this summer to help his offense:
“Slow down. You’re in a rush… Go work with Dirk this summer. Dirk understood to keep the ball high. Shot from above his head. You couldn’t block his shot. Dirk didn’t move very fast or very quick. But got by everybody. Understanding pump fakes, triple threats. Triple threats still a thing. It is still very powerful. Anytime you catch the ball mid post, turn and face first. Keep the ball high.”
