Overview
- The club voided roughly $24.9 million tied to Aiyuk’s 2026 option bonus, a step first reported last week but made in July, according to team officials.
- John Lynch said the organization had “no other recourse” under its limited but important rules and indicated the team has moved on from the months‑old action.
- The NFLPA offered to challenge the voided guarantees, but multiple reports say Aiyuk declined to pursue a grievance.
- Aiyuk remains on the PUP list rehabbing the ACL and MCL tears suffered in 2024, and Kyle Shanahan said his 21‑day practice window will not open before the bye.
- League reporting suggests the voided guarantees increase flexibility for a potential offseason trade or release, though his ultimate future depends on health and team decisions.
