Overview
- Aiyuk’s voided 2026 guarantees center on a $24.935 million option bonus, with reporting putting the total affected value at about $26.15 million.
- Reporting from The Athletic says the move followed absences from meetings and limited participation, with team frustration over a lack of communication.
- Aiyuk has told NFLPA representatives he will not file a grievance, a stance that sources say clears a practical path for an offseason release.
- The wide receiver remains on the PUP list as he rehabs a right knee injury from October 2024 (torn ACL, MCL and meniscus) and has not been reactivated in 2025.
- Shanahan called the voiding a business/legal matter and unusual in his experience, while expressing hope Aiyuk can get healthy and contribute again.
