Brandon Aiyuk about the 49ers on TikTok: ‘They said they don’t want me back. I swear.’
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is leaning into the narrative that receivers enjoy drama. In April, Aiyuk unfollowed the Niners on social media. Aiyuk wasn’t at OTAs or mandatory minicamp.
Monday morning, Aiuyk took to TikTok. Aiyuk had an interaction with his collegiate teammate Jayden Daniels:
Daniels asks Aiyuk, “What happened, bro?” and Aiyuk responds, saying, “They said they don’t want me back. I swear.”
Hello, offseason.
Naturally, there’s an incredible amount of information that we’re not privy to. Aiyuk and his camp might have given the 49ers a number, and they saw it and shook their heads vehemently at anything that started with a three.
There’s also some exaggeration from Aiyuk here that fans will inevitably eat up. But, that’s the internet for you and when we don’t have all of the pieces of the conversation, you’re bound to side with the latest bit of news.
In this case, it’s Aiyuk with the headline saying the team that has publicly stated they want Aiyuk around for a long time does, in fact, not want him.
Buckle up. There will be another month plus of this until a deal gets done.
