Brandon Aiyuk is a Quitter! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

Yeah, this young man is having a mental break. And the people close to him have a duty to push him to seek professional help.

Gave up millions for this rant.

Blames everyone but himself.

Mental health is one thing; entitlement, spoiled, and just plain dumb are things that come to mind for me. His family must be rich, cause he's behaving like he comes from $.

This may have already been asked and answered but can Aiyuk or the Commanders be punished in any way for Aiyuk's rants? According to google, Aiyuk isn't allowed to openly discuss wanting to play for another team while under contract.

I'm sure someone on here knows the ins/outs of the CBA.

Duh, if races where reversed he would be torched

The irony of Aiyuk calling somebody else a toddler.

I'm not sure that you can punish the commanders at all. They can't control what Aiyuk does.

For a player, I'm sure there is some type of "conduct detrimental to team" type thing but the 49ers management already publicly said Aiyuk wont play again for us so how could Aiyuk get punished for saying then he wants to play for commanders?

I don't think any punishment will come about for that. But Aiyuk can be fined $50k per day for not showing up once training camp starts, and these are amounts that can't be waived later. So Aiyuk stands to lose a couple million (or more?) in fines if he sticks to his word and doesn't show

the funny thing is that there's a really good chance that Aiyuk wouldn't even crack the roster in Washington.

Dudes a massive projectionist. Creepy, weirdo and childish... from the guy that ghosted his team, isolated himself from anyone with common sense and continues to post vids rather than just file for reinstatement and show up to get released.

Most likely Lynch was doing a safety check on one of the teams biggest investments and Shanny being childish for making him change shorts because no one is above the team.

Best he is gonna get is a one year prove it deal with the Commanders. Is he even familiar with the OC or is he gonna b***h and moan for not getting the ball in an offense he hasnt picked up yet.

I think a lot of people are going to underestimate how serious the league and owners will come down on him and make an example because of what he's done.

1. I'll be surprised if the commissioner reinstates him
2. I don't think any owner is going to give him what he wants acting like this.

this isn't just a 49ers problem. Owners and executives are going to make sure no other player wants to do this again.

I believe Aiyuks last play in the NFL will be the one that he destroyed his knee on. No way owners and executives will reward him in any way. I doubt the commanders owner will want to bring this to his team and the media circus it'll be

yup.

AND once he's off the 49ers, I think the teams going to file a grievance to claw back more than half of his guaranteed money. I'll be shocked if they don't.

over a 4 year contract, which his signing bonus is for. You can possibly argue 5 years cause it was an extension. He fulfilled 1.5 years - which at best is 37.5%. So I think the team will file a grievance clawing it back. They have a great case too.

if it's technically spread over 5 years, because it was an extension, then it's 30%.

long story short, I don't think he plays again and I think a huge chunk of his money will come back. If I'm right he'll get to keep $8.625M of his signing bonus (total $23M).

and only god knows how much he's had to pay in fines. With possibly a lot more coming

I hope all that happens but we've also seen a lot get swept under the rug for talented players.

I do think the Washington owner is fine with Aiyuk not being released by us but I'd be shocked if he's not signed by them once we do let him go.

End of the day if Aiyuk is healthy(which after 2 years I'd be surprised if he's not physically there) he's a very talented player. The question I have is about his mind.

Kudos to hero and other people who saw the cracks, I certainly didn't. But this whole situation has revealed the guy is simply mentally fragile.

I don't care how pissed you are about the SB targets or the front office with whatever leaks they put out or contract talk negativity...when you're handed 100+ million by that team most adults would brush that off and keep moving forward.

This dude basically stole from the team based on the production he put on the field while pocketing $50 million in the process and then killed any trade value for the team in the process with his antics.

I am VERY curious how things go with him in Washington. Can this guy keep it together unless things are going perfectly for him? And this is the NFL. When have things ever gone perfectly for a team?

I highly doubt he goes to any team. lol especially Washington. Owners don't play this s**t and never want to see a player do this to them, especially a good player.

time will tell but his career is over, IMO, and he's going to get raked through the coals by the niners for a lot of money.

i think he's on a PS making Jack, at best. and can't mentally have and quits… assuming I'm wrong and he gets signed.

too many people are viewing this situation from the wrong perspective, IMO. This is an owners problem and NFL problem that they never want and will make an exple
Out of him. It's going to be ugly.

Poly? Where you get this from?

Let us not forget Adam Peters. If he hadn't crossed the line he might just have calling out John and Kyle. Just because Peters left doesn't mean the relationship is gone. This guy doesn't get it.

Only way WA can get in trouble is if they've told him they'd sign him or told people to tell him that. Which I doubt. It's not their fault BA is doing this or their QB is his friend.

I'd bet anything there have been conference calls with the owners and NFL discussing how this situation will be handled. Or meeting or something. Not saying they're colluding or anything bad but they're all business partners and how this situation ends will either encourage others to take a similar route (maybe not forfeiting millions lol) or it'll show players to not even consider this route or else. That's what I think

Ppl being all psychologists and s**t, he could just be an ass

This. People so quick to blame CTE or call it mental issues blah blah blah. I call it immature and entitled brat. Oh and shtupid to use his own word

People can have mental issues and be immature/entitled/blahblahblah. These aren't mutually exclusive arguments.

Never said you can't be or have both. But what I did say was people are blaming CTE/Mental issues for the way he is and has been acting; and that's BS.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're still tight.

also, commanders have a new owner who's done a great job turning around the culture there. Idk why he'd want this circus for something unknown. No one knows if he can play at a good level anymore or handle the pressure if he does get a chance: the criticism would flood his socials that we know he loves to read

From what I was told just now, it's not tampering as it only involves the player, not the team, so nothing can be done, unless the team starts doing something, which won't happen.

Also he can't just show up and say "Hey I'm here, now release me", he has to petition the NFL to reinstate him, and he hasn't done that yet.
