"General manager John Lynch stated that the team would part ways with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk during the offseason, with plans to make the transaction official after the new league year begins in March."
"Coach Kyle Shanahan emphasized that the team is not in a rush to trade Aiyuk, stating, 'I don't have a date for it... Hopefully, we could get something for [him].'"
"Owner Jed York mentioned a long shot possibility of Aiyuk staying with the team, saying, 'We want to make sure that we have as talented of a roster as possible.'"
"The only deadline for the 49ers regarding Aiyuk is September 1, when a $24.935 million option bonus is due, providing the team with some flexibility."
The San Francisco 49ers intend to release wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, as confirmed by general manager John Lynch and coach Kyle Shanahan. Aiyuk has not played since October 2024 due to a severe knee injury and has not communicated with the team since late November. While the team is looking for trade offers, owner Jed York suggested a slim chance Aiyuk could remain with the team if he recovers. The deadline for a decision is September 1, when a significant option bonus is due.
