Brandon Aiyuk is waiting patiently for the San Francisco 49ers to finally cut him loose. Reports indicate that it isn't imminent, so the wide receiver and the Washington Commanders are in limbo until general manager John Lynch pulls the trigger.
According to a recent revelation from one Niners team insider, it's only delaying the inevitable. And Lynch knows it.
Aiyuk wants to leave. The Niners want to let him go. They could put a post-June 1 designation on his departure now, but Lynch wants to squeeze it out right until the last minute in the hope a willing trade suitor comes forward.
