Summary
Brandon Aiyuk’s trade demands to the Commanders are sparking a firestorm, fueled by contract disputes and rehab disagreements. The 49ers’ $120M extension is at the heart of the tension, as Aiyuk claims he’s been unpaid for 17 months since his guarantees were voided — and he’s skipped team rehab. But former Commanders coach Jay Gruden backs the 49ers, calling the contract fair and accusing Aiyuk of ignoring rehab protocols. Aiyuk insists he’s rehabbed independently, and the 49ers argue they’re not obligated to pay him while on IR — even though he’s already cashed in big on his extension. This saga is turning into a high-stakes NFL contract showdown.
