Disgruntled San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk has made a pledge to join the Washington Commanders in his latest Instagram posts.
"If I'm crazy or if I'm cappin', tell them boys cut me today. And I'll sign with the Commanders tomorrow. We'll see who's cappin'," Aiyuk said in a social media video.
Aiyuk preceded the post by sharing a photo of Deion Sanders in a Washington uniform, followed by the caption: "The best sport in the world. The best league in the world, (and) the best team in the world. And I almost forgot. The best WR in the world."

The 28-year-old's latest posts come just days after he expressed support for Washington by saying, "Go Commanders," in his Instagram story. He's also blasted the 49ers in previous social media posts.
Aiyuk hasn't played since tearing his ACL in Week 7 of the 2024 season.
In January, 49ers general manager John Lynch said Aiyuk had likely "played his last snap" with the franchise, but the club hasn't released him.
The Commanders have been rumored to be the favorite to land Aiyuk, partly due to his relationship with Washington quarterback Jayden Daniels. Aiyuk was Daniels' top target when they were teammates at Arizona State in 2019.
Aiyuk racked up 75 catches, 1,342 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns on 105 targets during his last full healthy season in 2023.
