Commanders Could Go After Brandon Aiyuk

Thursday, March 5, 4:26 PM

The Washington Commanders could opt to sign wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee), who is expected to be cut by the San Francisco 49ers, according to John Keim of ESPN. Aiyuk is close friends with Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels and has said he wants to play with him. If the Commanders were to take a chance on Aiyuk, who didn't play at all in 2025, it would be "for a one-year prove-it deal," and they'd still likely go after another receiver to pair with Terry McLaurin. It doesn't sound like the Commanders plan to attempt to bring Deebo Samuel Sr. back. Other options that Washington could pursue are Jauan Jennings, Romeo Doubs, Alec Pierce, and Rashid Shaheed. Aiyuk, a former first-rounder in 2020, wore out his welcome in the Bay Area and will have to prove his health and fit with a new organization before most fantasy managers will take a look at him again. He did have back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the Niners before his season-ending knee injury in 2024, though.
