49ers Confirm Voided 2026 Guarantees for Brandon Aiyuk as Return Timeline Remains Unclear

The rare July action signals flexibility for a likely offseason split.

Overview

  • Kyle Shanahan confirmed the team voided Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees before training camp and called the step unusual.
  • Reporting identifies roughly $26.15 million voided, a change that eases trade-or-release options and shapes potential dead-cap outcomes.
  • Aiyuk remains on the PUP list and has not been medically cleared; Shanahan says he is week to week and the team still hopes for a 2025 return.
  • FOX SportsJay Glazer reported the rescission followed missed rehab obligations and fines, adding that Aiyuk’s future is “up to Brandon.”
  • Mike Garafolo reported belief that Aiyuk is close to clearance, while multiple outlets note he has not asked the NFLPA to file a grievance and view an offseason separation as likely.
