Receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s route to free agency involves filing for reinstatement from the reserve/left squad list and attending training camp, but he has publicly refused to do either. In a recent Instagram story, he stated, “I will not be reinstating with them or ever doing any kind of business with them,” emphasizing his focus on returning to play this season. Aiyuk has also accused the 49ers of misleading the media about his situation. Unless released from the reserve list, he remains in limbo, as his refusal to comply with necessary steps prevents any movement towards joining the Commanders.
