Report: Shanahan ‘bothered’ by Aiyuk’s behavior amid 49ers hold-in originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The 49ers’ ongoing saga with Brandon Aiyuk has appeared cordial on the outside, but internally, coach Kyle Shanahan reportedly became fed up with the wide receiver’s recent antics.
San Francisco could deal Aiyuk at any moment after contract extension negotiations with him hit a wall this offseason, resulting in the star wideout requesting a trade. Shanahan is willing to move on from Aiyuk because he is “bothered” by the 26-year-old’s behavior, including his recent “bro hug” with the coach and his “perceived brooding,” the San Francisco Chronicle’s Michael Silver reported Tuesday, citing multiple sources.
“The continued presence of Aiyuk, in all his emotionally charged splendor, seems to be triggering,” Silver wrote.
Aiyuk currently is at 49ers training camp as a “hold-in,” not taking part in practice as his situation is worked out but certainly making his presence known. After Aiyuk was seen greeting president of football operations/general manager John Lynch and Shanahan at midfield during practice last Wednesday with very friendly handshakes and hugs, the coach didn’t seem too perturbed by the interaction.
“That’s just usually how we greet each other, honestly,” Shanahan told reporters after Friday’s practice. “You guys would see maybe a lot more hugs in here if we had a film for you guys, but we’re not on ‘Hard Knocks.’
“We saw him on the field. He hadn’t been on the field a lot. We walked by each other, and it’s usually how we greet each other. Bro hug — nothing more, nothing less. Thank you.”
“That’s usually how we greet each other. Bro hug. Nothing more, nothing less.”
