In his latest online video, receiver Brandon Aiyuk set his sights on his former agent, Ryan Williams, and made it clear that he has no intention of returning to the San Francisco 49ers.

Aiyuk claims in the roughly three-and-a-half-minute video that firing Williams, who he said has a personal and business relationship with 49ers general manager John Lynch, sparked his ongoing saga with the team.

"That agent really started this whole shit cause I fired his ass. But he want to text my wife because he's smart," Aiyuk said in a YouTube video posted Saturday. "Don't ever text my wife. Your ass fired."

Aiyuk, who hasn't played since tearing his ACL in Week 7 of the 2024 season, has been campaigning online to get out of his contract and join the Washington Commanders. The veteran stated earlier this week that he'd sign with the Commanders "tomorrow" if released.

The 28-year-old added Saturday that the only time he plans to step back in Levi's Stadium is when the Commanders visit San Francisco to take on the 49ers in a Monday Night Football matchup this year.

"We is not cool," Aiyuk said. "We won't be cool, and I will never be stepping in that building except for on Oct. 19."

Aiyuk also said Lynch showed up at his house uninvited, alleging that the general manager came to apologize for head coach Kyle Shanahan's actions.

Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120-million extension with the 49ers in August 2024. He had his 2026 guarantees voided after he skipped rehab sessions related to his knee injury.
