Brandon Aiyuk -- really?

You're not doing yourself any favors. What team wants to take this on?

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For the second time in three days, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk seemingly aimed some harsh comments at the San Francisco 49ers for how they have handled his situation over the past couple of years.

On Tuesday, Aiyuk again posted a video to Instagram. This time, it was a 30-second video in which Aiyuk appears to call the 49ers "stupid" and "dumb."

"You wanna know why they really mad though?" Aiyuk said in the video. "They mad 'cause they stupid. They dumb. They mad that they paid me $50 million in eight months and then voided my guarantees for 2027. And I'm about to be on a new team in 2027. They mad at theyselves for real. N‐‐‐as acting like they mad at me, but they stupid ass mad at theyself."

SNIP

Aiyuk's latest posting comes after he took to Instagram on Sunday to comment on the ongoing standoff between him and the 49ers. In that video, which lasted about a minute and a half, Aiyuk never explicitly mentions the Niners but spends much of the video describing someone as "little boys" and "female dogs" and implies that the team is scared to release him because it's afraid that Aiyuk could come back to haunt it if he lands elsewhere.

We don't know all the details, or who has said what, but we do know that there are others on the 49ers with nothing but respect and gratitude for the way 49ers coaching and management operates. Fred Warner, George Kittle, Mac Jones, Dre Greenlaw, to name some, are all on record. They're happy to be in S.F.

What team do you think would take on Aiyuk and this baggage?
