There’s still not a lot that’s publicly known about Brandon Aiyuk’s contentious year-long saga with the 49ers, one that’s expected to end with Aiyuk’s impending release. 49ers star George Kittle shared his side of things in a Tuesday appearance on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast, but even Kittle admitted he doesn’t fully know what’s going on.
Aiyuk, who didn’t play a snap of football last year, started the 2025 season in rehab after tearing his ACL and MCL in his right knee in October 2024. Somewhere along the way of his recovery, his relationship with the 49ers became strained past the point of reconciliation, leading to Aiyuk’s expected split with the organization he has called home for six years.
