Brandon Aiyuk has made cryptic Instagram posts suggesting that San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan wishes for his return, while asserting the offense struggles without him and expressing confidence in winning a championship elsewhere. Despite these hints, Aiyuk stated he has no intention of returning to the team, referring to them dismissively as “power plant.” He did not play last season due to a torn ACL and is expected to part ways with the 49ers, who have voided guarantees in his contract. Aiyuk has publicly criticized the 49ers and shown interest in joining the Washington Commanders while dealing with issues related to missed team activities during his recovery.
