Brandon Aiyuk<\/a> has issued yet another warning to the San Francisco 49ers<\/a>, again without mentioning the team by name.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk posted a video to his Instagram story on Thursday, July 2 that showed a slow, zoom in on his face over saxophone music that grew in volume. The music was a reference to the score from a scene from the 1991 movie “Boyz n the Hood,” during which one of the characters, Ricky, is shot to death.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk’s message was simple, even despite his non-verbal delivery: the saxophones are getting louder, and a bad turn could be coming if his saga with the 49ers<\/a> isn’t soon resolved.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk seemingly isn’t going to stay quiet as he awaits the 49ers moving on from him, as general manager John Lynch said they would during a news conference at the end of the 2025 NFL season.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk has become increasingly vocal about his desire to leave the 49ers in recent weeks. He has criticized Lynch and Kyle Shanahan<\/a> across a series of Instagram posts while referring to the team as “stupid”<\/a> and expressing his desire to join the Washington Commanders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Aiyuk continued to lobby for a union with the Commanders<\/a> with a couple of posts to his Instagram story. The first was a dance accompanied by the following caption:<\/p>\n

“Mood cuz Im gone be a Commander soon,” Aiyuk wrote.<\/p>\n

Shortly thereafter, Aiyuk posted a video of Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels<\/a>, with whom he has a strong relationship from their team time together at Arizona State.<\/p>\n

Despite Aiyuk’s desires to join the Commanders, he won’t be able to do so until the 49ers eventually trade or release him.<\/p>\n

San Francisco<\/a> hasn’t yet gotten a nibble for a trade, nor has it shown a willingness to cut Aiyuk. So, until the 49ers make a decision about his future, Aiyuk will remain in purgatory.<\/p>\n

But as the 28-year-old receiver has made clear with his social media posts, he isn’t afraid to express his displeasure about that.<\/p>\n
