Ochocinco Connects With Aiyuk’s 49ers Video
Chad Ochocinco backs Brandon Aiyuk’s public contract gripe, citing his own past disputes to explain why a wide receiver might go viral.
Chad Ochocinco, the former NFL wide‑out known for his outspoken contract negotiations, said he understands the frustration behind Brandon Aiyuk’s recent viral video aimed at the San Francisco 49ers. Aiyuk’s clip, posted to Instagram, showed the 26‑year‑old tight‑end‑turned‑receiver railing against what he described as a “prolonged” and “unfair” contract process, urging the organization to move quickly. Ochocinco, who endured his own public contract battles with the Cincinnati Bengals and later the New England Patriots, drew a parallel, noting that players often feel compelled to go public when private talks stall.
