Overview
- The team acknowledged Saturday that it voided Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees in July, a move Kyle Shanahan called unusual without detailing specific reasons.
- Aiyuk has not been medically cleared, remains on the PUP list, and the 49ers have not opened his 21-day practice window as his status stays week to week.
- He has not instructed the NFLPA to file a grievance over the voided money, signaling he may not contest the decision.
- Reporting from The Athletic says he missed meetings and team activities, and FOX’s Jay Glazer said fines and rehab noncompliance factored into the decision; the team has not publicly confirmed those specifics.
- The voided amount is reported at roughly $25–$26.15 million, largely a $24.935 million option bonus, which multiple outlets say eases a potential trade or release with manageable cap implications.
