49ers VOID Brandon Aiyuk’s $120M Contract Guarantees NOW

URGENT UPDATE: The San Francisco 49ers have officially voided wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s contract guarantees for the 2026 season, raising serious questions about his future with the team. This shocking decision was reported by ESPN and The Athletic in the wake of Aiyuk’s ongoing recovery from a severe knee injury.

Aiyuk, who has been sidelined since suffering a right knee injury in October 2024, might have already played his last game with the 49ers. The 25-year-old athlete tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus during a game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 7 last season. Initially, the team had hoped he would return to practice by midseason, but as the regular season winds down with only six games remaining, his return appears increasingly uncertain.

According to reports, the 49ers voided Aiyuk’s guaranteed money due to his failure to meet requirements outlined in his contract extension signed in August 2024, which is valued at $120 million over four years. Aiyuk’s contract included an option bonus of $24.935 million that was set to become guaranteed on April 1 but has now been nullified.

It remains unclear if the 49ers will honor Aiyuk’s base salary of $1.215 million and bonuses for workouts and per-game appearances. Coach Kyle Shanahan provided an update, stating, “Brandon’s just week-to-week. When he had such a big injury like that, just waiting until he is fully comfortable to come up and start practicing.”

With the clock ticking and fans eagerly awaiting news, the implications of this decision could reshape the 49ers’ roster and playoff aspirations. Aiyuk’s potential exit from the team raises significant concerns for fans and players alike as they navigate the challenges of the current season.

Stay tuned for further developments on this evolving story that could have lasting consequences for both Aiyuk and the 49ers.
