Brandon Aiyuk broke his silence on social media on Sunday, posting a cryptic Instagram video that many interpreted as a direct shot at the San Francisco 49ers. This is coming from the wide receiver amid a strained relationship with the team and trade rumors linking him out.
The video, which lasted roughly 90 seconds, was a way for Aiyuk to express his raw feelings on what has been a tumultuous period for him at the franchise. He’s been in a public friction with the team over his contract, as he dealt with injuries that kept him out of the 2025 season.

Brandon Aiyuk boasts the 49ers can’t talk down his talent
Before things fell apart between him and the 49ers, Brandon Aiyuk was a lethal weapon on the team’s offense. He was the team’s leading receiver in three of his first four years. The wideout boasted about this in the video he posted, believing his talent can’t be talked down.
“Man, stop running from the bill,” Aiyuk said. “The bill coming. You scared. They scared. Truth is, they scared. They know how I get. They gonna say, ‘Oh yeah, BA, BA, BA did this, BA did that. BA did, you know that s—, allegedly. Allegedly.
“But what they not gonna say is, ‘BA suck at football,’ cause they know how I get. And they running from that bill that’s on the way. It’s inevitable. It’s coming. Stop running. Stop being a female dog. Stop being a little cat. Stop running from the bill.”
Without a doubt, Brandon Aiyuk’s time in San Francisco is over. However, it remains unknown how his future will be resolved by the team moving forward. Despite GM John Lynch openly inviting trade calls after the draft, Aiyuk has been labeled untradable by rival executives due to cap hit, injury history and perceived attitude.
