US Edition“Dude Makes Keon Coleman Look Good”: NFL Fans React as Brandon Aiyuk Goes AWOL After 49ers Void $120,000,00 WR's Guaranteed Money
The 49ers voided $26 million in 2026 guarantees after Aiyuk missed team obligations during ACL rehab; he will likely be released or traded after the 2025 season.
- Heading into the 2026 season, the San Francisco 49ers voided $26.15 million in guaranteed money for wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, Kyle Shanahan confirmed Saturday.
- Team sources say Aiyuk failed to meet contract requirements, missing meetings and declining team activities in recent months while rehabbing a torn ACL.
- Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million extension on Aug. 29, 2024, and before his injury he played seven games, catching 25 passes for 374 yards.
- The move leaves the San Francisco 49ers with $29.585 million in cap charges and makes a release or trade likely after the season.
- Shanahan said `What happened in July doesn't have anything to do with the future` and Aiyuk reportedly chose not to contest the voiding as more news is expected in the near future.
