Overview
- The voiding applies to Aiyuk’s 2026 salary guarantees, estimated at roughly $26 million under his four-year extension.
- Team officials tied the action to his absences from meetings and other activities during rehabilitation, with issues handled internally in July.
- Kyle Shanahan called the situation highly unusual and said he had never seen a contract voided in more than 20 years of coaching.
- If the 49ers move on next year, they would carry about $29.5 million in dead money related to past bonuses, which could be spread over two seasons.
- Aiyuk remains sidelined without a return timetable after major right-knee surgery, a year removed from signing a $120 million extension following a 2023 All-Pro season.
