Brandon Aiyuk remains in purgatory with the San Francisco 49ers, seemingly desperate to get released so he can reunite with his close friend Jayden Daniels on the Washington Commanders. It might drag on, but most see this as the likeliest scenario at some stage.
It's a gamble, of course. The rewards will be substantial if Aiyuk stays healthy, focused, and rekindles his college chemistry with Daniels. If it all goes wrong, the Commanders need to have a protection plan in place.
Most fans are coming around to the idea of Aiyuk being in Washington next season.
