Brandon Aiyuk says he has not had an agent for months after terminating his Standard Representation Agreement through the NFLPA in November 2025. The NFLPA database still lists Ryan Williams of Athletes First as his representative, a mismatch that raises press
Brandon Aiyuk’s latest video doesn’t sound like a message about the 49ers or even the next team he wants to be part of. It’s a different kind of football matter—one about representation, timing, and whether the advice he’s been getting matches what’s being tracked.
In the video, Aiyuk says he doesn’t have an agent and hasn’t for months. “Also, I do not have an agent,” Aiyuk said. He added, “I terminated my SRA with my previous agent through the NFLPA last year in November.”
Aiyuk’s claim lands in the middle of something the NFL keeps receipts for. The NFLPA player-agent database available to the media currently shows that Ryan Williams of Athletes First represents Aiyuk. When a player terminates a Standard Representation Agreement, the database typically reflects that change.
The gap between Aiyuk’s video and what the NFLPA’s database shows is where the tension sits—because the next part of Aiyuk’s situation depends on procedure. not preference. Aiyuk is on the reserve/left squad list. and the path he must follow is specific: he has to petition the league for reinstatement. Once reinstated, he needs to show up for training camp.
Only then does the 49ers’ likely next move become clearer. After reinstatement and a return to camp, the 49ers would likely cut him. Until that happens—until reinstatement is granted and Aiyuk shows up—the 49ers have no reason to take action.
The sequence is stark: petition for reinstatement, then show up. And the question that follows Aiyuk’s claim about having no agent is equally direct—who is helping him make sure those steps are handled the right way. If he truly isn’t getting guidance from someone with an NFLPA-recognized role in this process. someone around him still needs to be ensuring the pathway to free agency stays that simple.
Aiyuk’s statement may be an explanation for how he’s approached the situation, but it has created a new problem to solve: the NFLPA database, at the moment, says otherwise.

So he fired his agent and now the NFLPA still has the agent listed… seems messy like everyone forgot to update something.
I don’t even get why this is news. If he says he has no agent, then okay? Databases be wrong all the time.
Wait, he “terminated” in November 2025 but they’re saying petition for reinstatement and then training camp and THEN the 49ers cut him?? That’s wild. I thought teams could just drop him whenever, guess not.
This sounds like 49ers drama disguised as admin paperwork. Like if he doesn’t have an agent, who’s telling him what to do, his mom? Also why is the database taking so long… or maybe the video is just him trolling. Either way dude needs to get cleared to practice before he disappears.
