Commanders Set to Honor John Riggins with No. 44 Retirement in 2026

The Washington Commanders announced they will retire John Riggins’ No. 44 during the 2026 season, with a halftime ceremony planned for Week 9 against the Los Angeles Rams. Riggins, a Hall of Fame running back who spent his prime years in Washington after starting with the Jets, owns franchise records of 7,472 rushing yards and 79 rushing touchdowns, including a standout 1983 season (1,347 yards, 24 TDs) and four playoff TDs in the 1982 postseason. No player will wear No. 44 again.

Aiyuk's Instagram clash with ex-teammate Daniels cools potential Commanders match

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has publicly courted a move to the Commanders, but a series of provocative Instagram posts aimed at ex-ASU teammate Jayden Daniels—along with fan videos and mutual unfollows—has cooled that possibility. Analysts have suggested Washington isn’t eager to add receivers, and Aiyuk remains on San Francisco’s reserve/left squad list while pursuing reinstatement or potential release.

Aiyuk doubles down on Commanders bid, stalls return to 49ers

Brandon Aiyuk continues posting about wanting to move from the 49ers to the Commanders, including airing remarks at GM John Lynch, coach Kyle Shanahan, and his agent. He vows not to return to the 49ers’ facility until Oct. 19 for a Commanders game at Levi’s Stadium, has not fired his agent or filed a reinstatement petition, and the 49ers have shown no plan to release him. No official change occurs until he files reinstatement paperwork and reports to camp, with potential implications if he remains on the reserve/left squad list and injuries occur.

Aiyuk’s cryptic video fuels questions about his 49ers future

49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk posts another cryptic Instagram Story video—this time showing a closet, a backpack, and cash—that has since been deleted and contains no clear links to the 49ers or the Commanders. He’s issued several recent videos, some critical of the 49ers and others praising the Commanders. Aiyuk remains under contract with San Francisco, with training-camp decisions to come, and it’s unclear whether Washington has real interest. Aiyuk and ASU alum Jayden Daniels were college teammates in 2019.

Aiyuk nudges toward Commanders switch via social posts

49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk posted videos and messages suggesting he wants to play for the Washington Commanders, prompting questions about tampering since he isn’t cleared to discuss trades. There’s no confirmed trade talk, and Aiyuk remains under contract for 2026 with a non-guaranteed salary of over $26 million; the 49ers could release him if he attends camp, but he skipped the offseason program so far.

49ers tight end George Kittle weighed in on the possibility of Brandon Aiyuk joining the Washington Commanders, praising Aiyuk’s speed while acknowledging the challenges of replacing him; Aiyuk has publicly pushed for Washington, has not played since a serious knee injury in 2024, and the 49ers have not moved him, leaving his status uncertain as training camp approaches.

Aiyuk’s IG clip fuels Commanders trade chatter

Brandon Aiyuk’s latest Instagram video includes him saying “go Commanders,” fueling ongoing speculation that the 49ers star could land with Washington after trade talks. With the 49ers still holding his rights, a trade remains possible, or he could be released if he reports to training camp. If he practices and suffers a season-ending injury, San Francisco could owe more than $26 million, but as of now the 49ers owe him nothing.
