San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle has apparently had enough of his teammate, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
Joining “Pardon My Take,” which is hosted by Big Cat and PFT Commenter, Kittle was asked about Aiyuk. What Kittle said leaves no doubt that Aiyuk has indeed played his last down for the 49ers.
“The last time I saw Aiyuk was, call it Week 6, 7 or 8. I don’t really know,” Kittle told PFF Commenter who is a Washington Commanders fan.
“I used to make it a habit of mine to go out early in the morning before meetings to watch him train because he’d always be out there early, and I watched him run over 22 miles per hour and watched him stop on a dime. He’s still got, but that was eight months ago, so I don’t really know. You guys have fun with that, I guess.”
After PFF Commenter responded, Kittle repeated, “You have fun with all that comes with it.” When PFF Commenter replied that once Aiyuk lands with the Commanders, he’ll finally be happy, Kittle added one more zinger.
“You guys have fun with that I guess.”

“Yeah, you’re right, I wouldn’t be happy either if a team paid me $130 million.”
After the two went back and forth on the situation between the 49ers and Aiyuk a bit, Kittle did compliment Aiyuk’s talent: “He’s an alien, for sure.”
It sure sounds like Kittle is tired of the Aiyuk drama and ready for the 49ers to move on. It’s interesting because Kittle defended Aiyuk not too long ago. The truth is, Aiyuk going on social media to call the 49ers stupid and wearing another team’s gear probably cost him any support he had left in the San Francisco locker room.
Aiyuk’s eventual release is a matter of when, not if. If he reports to training camp next month, things could happen quickly. And when he’s clear, the Commanders are the favorite to sign him.
While everyone will focus on Kittle essentially telling the Commanders, “to have fun with that,” he said something much more interesting. He said Aiyuk ran 22 miles per hour eight months ago. That would be one year after his injury. For all those saying Aiyuk is finished, it sure doesn’t sound that way.
Now we wait.
