Honestly don't think this guy cares at all. Had some doubts but this confirms it. Do not want him in DC. He made a video recently shirtless with a Commanders hat on. Weirdest stuff since Antonio Brown stuff. Not saying he's Antonio Brown character but these are not good indications.
I maintain my stance Aiyuk is fat cat rich and doesn't care. SF gave him a big contract and he has basically sh*t on them. |
Well, since the 49ers pushed the mandatory start date back 6 weeks to training camp, Aiyuk cannot show up and force their hand for a quick release due to being a pain in the butt, particularly when fans show up. So, what can he do to get released now? Not much. So think if it from his perspective. He's basically got two choices, be quiet and show up in 6 weeks for training camp and miss any chance to get released earlier, or be a complete pain and cause so much distraction that the 49ers say enough is enough and cut him now.
He is clearly trying the latter.
I would expect it to get worse before it gets better. He is clearly taunting them trying to force their hand. But a front office does not make mistakes like a DB would to taunting, in fact it usually responds differently because they don't live moment by moment on adrenaline. Aiyuk is screwed. He screwed up long ago, he is trapped and the more noise he makes, the more likely the 49ers make him wait. I personally do not believe the 48ers wait until Sept 1. I believe they cut him on day 2 of mandatory camp, if they don't, Aiyuk can claim a terrible injury, and all hell will break loose on social media too.
I've hear John Keim make the suggestion he act like George Costaza on Seinfeld when he tried to get fired by the Yankees by dragging their world series trophy around the parking lot.
On a positive, his most recent posts clarify he wants Washington AND wants to play, which I was unsure of. Who knows about his shape or injury, but "want to" was a major question mark that has clearly been answered. Is he a nut? possibly, but the stuff from now on should be considered just a tactic to get released.
Do I want him? Not if he is unstable, injured, out of shape or not motivated.
At least he is motivated.
