Brandon Iyuk remains on the San Francisco 49ers roster, despite talk of a split.

General manager John Lynch declared back in January that the wide receiver had played his last

snap with the team. That came after they voted nearly $27 million in guarantees from his 2026

yet the new league year has started with no trade or release in sight. Tied in George kiddo

recently opened up about the behind the scenes issues last season. Iyuk sat out all of 2025 due

to a serious knee injury from the year before. During training camp in the early weeks he popped

in and out of the facility, keeping his distance from teammates much like his holdout in 20.

24. Kiddo noticed Iyuk avoiding the locker room, meetings and training areas,

sticking mainly to weight room rehab. He made a point to check on him around week six,

offering support and saying he had his back. But right after the contract void story broke,

Iyuk stopped showing up altogether. Trade talks have cooled since the injury and drama,

with the 49ers likely getting a smaller package for the 28 year old.

The Washington commanders stand out as a strong possibility. Iyuk shares a college bond with their

quarterback Jaden Daniels from Arizona State and it was his top trade choice last year.

For now, nothing has moved forward. Kiddo says he stays out of front office decisions with Lynch

and coach Kyle Shanahan, focusing instead on supporting players through tough times. He admits he

has no clue what Iyuk is thinking next. D&N is sponsored by our partner. Check out the episode
