What’s Next for Brandon Aiyuk After NFL Reinstates Disgruntled 49ers WR
The league gave San Francisco two weeks to decide whether to keep Brandon Aiyuk, trade him or release him as a contract dispute continues.
- On Monday, the NFL reinstated wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk from the reserve/left squad list, granting the San Francisco 49ers a two-week roster exemption expiring November 23.
- Aiyuk was placed on the reserve/left squad list last December following an October 2024 knee injury, prompting the 49ers to void roughly $27 million in guaranteed money and seek $13 million in bonus recoupment.
- Last Friday, Aiyuk and agent Drew Rosenhaus met with team officials for about 75 minutes, where Aiyuk told reporters he is "back to 100%" following his long rehabilitation process.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan dismissed the situation, stating he "couldn't care less," as the 49ers face a Tuesday deadline to trade, release, or add Aiyuk to their 53-man roster.
- Financial projections show Aiyuk would be owed a prorated $1.17 million salary if retained after two weeks, whereas a trade would result in him being owed $585,000 in non-guaranteed money.
