Gettin’ Chiggy with it: The #Commanders have agreed to terms on a three-year deal with TE Chig Okonkwo, per The Insiders.
The deal for the former #Titans was confirmed by his agents Jason Chayut and Jared Fox.
With the new league year set to begin today, the #49ers plan to release WR Brandon Aiyuk. Could happen as soon as today, but certainly soon. Washington is the most likely landing spot for Aiyuk, probably on a one-year prove it deal.
SF is expected to use post June 1 designation, which is why they had to wait until new league year begins.
Dead cap numbers, per OverTheCap:
2026 - $13.325 million
2027 - $21.247 million
SF will also get a credit of $4.987 million toward the 2027 cap.
The Niners, of course, will save significant amounts in future years by getting Aiyuk off the books.
Surpised to see Jamel Dean only get $12M a year when the Commanders gave Amik Robertson $8M.
Dean was PFF's 3rd ranked CB last year. Defended 9 passes and picked off three others as a physical corner in TB. Turns 30 this year.
