The 49ers have voided the more than $25 million guaranteed for 2026 in WR Brandon Aiyuk's contract, according to The Athletic. Aiyuk reportedly skipped meetings and other activities in recent months, as he's continued to work back from his October 2024 knee injury. Aiyuk will not be contesting the voided money. There have been "repeated overtures from team officials and even players to try to bring Aiyuk back into the fold," per The Athletic. But "it’s now likely that the 27-year-old has played his last game with the franchise." Aiyuk is expected to be released after the season.
Aiyuk will hit free agency this offseason coming off a major knee injury and a completely lost 2025. He still figures to garner plenty of interest on the open market, with the Browns, Patriots, and Steelers among the teams that pursued Aiyuk when he was on the trade block in the summer of 2024.
But between the knee injury and a new offense, Aiyuk's dynasty value is in limbo. He also turns 28 in March, which is generally past peak for WRs according to our aging-curve research.
Aiyuk won't be suiting up for the 49ers, and we're past the trade dealing, so he won't play this season. He can be dropped from all redraft rosters.
