Brandon Aiyuk claims 49ers ‘don’t want me back’ as contract drama festers
NY Post
The drama between Brandon Aiyuk and the 49ers doesn’t appear to be simmering down anytime soon.
Aiyuk, who’s hoping for a new contract after a career season in 2023, posted a TikTok video Monday, which showed him telling Jayden Daniels — his college teammate at Arizona State and the Commanders’ rookie quarterback — that the 49ers don’t want to retain him for next season.
“What happened bro,” Daniels said on a FaceTime call with Aiyuk.
“They said they don’t want me back… I swear,” the 26-year-old wideout replied.
“My boy!” Daniels, who was watching 49ers highlights in the clip, yelled before the pair started laughing.
Aiyuk’s video was captioned: “I’m laughing but I’m crying fr.”

SAN DIEGO — As you may have seen elsewhere in this newspaper (and also if you haven’t deleted me yet from your social media), I have a book coming out Tuesday called “The Bosses of The Bronx.” Much of it details the 37 years’ worth of antics, winning, losing, winning again and overall mania of George Steinbrenner’s time with the Yankees.

Cade Cunningham, almost inarguably the best player in the East this season, is likely out for the remainder of the regular season. That’s the word out of Detroit following the depressing news that Cunningham punctured a lung when he took a knee to his side Tuesday from Washington’s Tre Johnson while chasing a loose ball.

Wednesday was another positive day at Yankees camp. For the first time since March 6, 2025 — an outing in which he knew “something wasn’t right,” which began a weeks-long saga that ended on the operating table for Tommy John surgery — Gerrit Cole was back on a mound and facing hitters in game action.
