Brandon Aiyuk posts that he's purchased a $10 million estate in Virginia

A month after Brandon Aiyuk openly campaigned to join the Washington Commanders, the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver returned to social media to reveal he'd purchased a home near the Commanders' team facility.
Aiyuk, 28, posted on his Instagram story a picture of himself that included a caption with a misspelling of the location of his property: "Brandon Aiyuk acquires $10M Loudon County (VA) Estate." The Commanders' facility is in Ashburn, Va., which is in Loudoun County.

Last month, Aiyuk made it clear he wanted to join the Commanders, whose quarterback, Jayden Daniels, was Aiyuk's teammate at Arizona State. Said Aiyuk: "If I'm crazy or if I'm cappin', tell them boys (49ers) cut me today and I'll sign with the Commanders tomorrow."
The next day, Aiyuk posted a video in which he was wearing a Commanders hat: "I'm back in action and back on tour this fall. Go to www.commanders.com to get your tickets and watch us rock out," he said in a video.
However, Aiyuk is under contract with the 49ers and remains on the reserve/left squad list, where he was placed in December. He has three years left on his deal and he doesn't take up a roster spot, or count against the salary cap, while he is on the list. Aiyuk could try to force the 49ers to release him by filing for reinstatement and reporting to training camp, which begins Saturday when veterans report.
But Aiyuk said in another video last month that he'd never return to the 49ers' facility in Santa Clara.
"I will never be stepping in that building except for on Oct. 19 when I come through with that (damn) belt," Aiyuk said, referencing the date when the Commanders play the 49ers at Levi's Stadium.
