49ers reportedly nearing 'divorce' with Brandon Aiyuk, void WR's 2026 guarantees
NegativeSports
- The San Francisco 49ers are reportedly nearing a separation from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, as the team has decided to void his contract guarantees for 2026. Aiyuk has been on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list since July due to an ACL injury and has not been activated this season.
- This development is significant for the 49ers as it reflects growing frustration with Aiyuk's situation, which includes missed meetings and poor communication. The decision to void his guarantees indicates a shift in the team's strategy regarding player contracts and roster management.
- The 49ers are currently facing multiple injury challenges, particularly with their quarterback Brock Purdy also sidelined, which raises concerns about the team's overall performance. Aiyuk's potential departure could further impact the team's offensive strategy, especially as they navigate a difficult season with key players unavailable.
