"During training camp, the 49ers voided the guaranteed money Aiyuk has in his contract for 2026 because he had not been meeting the requirements of that deal, a league source said Friday. The Athletic first reported the contract alteration, which includes an option bonus worth $24.935 million. That bonus originally became guaranteed on April 1 of this year and has now been voided."
"Aiyuk is also scheduled to receive a $1.215 million base salary and has bonuses for workouts and per game appearances available as well. But it remains to be seen whether any of that will be paid out as the voiding of his 2026 guarantees clears the way for the Niners to part ways with him in the relatively near future."
"For now, the question remains whether Aiyuk will play this season. He tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus in a Week 7 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in 2024 and has been rehabilitating through the offseason and into this season. Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said during training camp the hope was Aiyuk would return to practice sometime around Week 7, but that still has not happened. On Monday, Shanahan said nothing has changed on Aiyuk's status. "Brandon's just week-to-week,""
Brandon Aiyuk has not returned after a right knee injury in October 2024 and may not play for the 49ers again this season with six regular-season games remaining. The 49ers voided Aiyuk’s 2026 guaranteed money during training camp because he had not met contract requirements, including voiding a $24.935 million option bonus that became guaranteed April 1. Aiyuk is scheduled for a $1.215 million base salary and workout and per-game bonuses, though those payments are uncertain and the voiding enables the team to part ways. He tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus in Week 7 against Kansas City and has been rehabilitating. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Aiyuk remains week-to-week, with no change to his status.
