"On Saturday afternoon, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the team voided about $27 million in 2026 guarantees on Aiyuk's contract in late July and then spent most of his news conference fielding many of those leftover queries about Aiyuk's status. In the ensuing 11 minutes and 54 seconds, Shanahan alternated between offering insight and declining to provide specifics."
"The top question of the day was what exactly Aiyuk did (or didn't do) for such a drastic contract measure to be taken. Shanahan was asked repeatedly and offered hints, acknowledging that Aiyuk missed some meetings and team activities but also pointed out that players with significant injuries, like Aiyuk's right knee injury, don't always take part in all those things anyway. Aiyuk was in the team facility doing rehab as recently as Friday, according to Shanahan."
The San Francisco 49ers voided about $27 million in 2026 guarantees on wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's contract in late July. Coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the void and described the situation as extremely unusual, saying he has never seen a contract voided in over 20 years of coaching. Shanahan acknowledged that Aiyuk missed some meetings and team activities while noting players with significant injuries do not always participate in such events. Sources indicated the guarantees were voided because Aiyuk did not meet contract terms, which could include participation in required rehab. Aiyuk was in the team facility doing rehab as recently as Friday.
