NFL Tells Brandon Aiyuk He Owes the 49ers About $13M, AP Source Says
The NFL and players union are involved as the sides weigh repayment or arbitration over the signing-bonus dispute, sources said.
- On Friday, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and agent Drew Rosenhaus plan to meet with the San Francisco 49ers to resolve his status on the reserve/left squad list.
- The meeting centers on a financial dispute, as Aiyuk reportedly owes the 49ers approximately $13 million in bonus forfeiture from his four-year, $120 million contract extension signed before the 2024 season.
- Resolving the situation involves the NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association, who are both attempting to determine whether Aiyuk remains on the 53-man roster or is released.
- General manager John Lynch called the situation 'fluid' on Thursday morning, while Rosenhaus reportedly texted that they will 'put our best foot forward and go from there.'
- NFL insider Tom Pelissero noted the two sides may not reach a quick resolution, as the financial dispute could potentially head to arbitration rather than an immediate agreement.
