49ers, Brandon Aiyuk Headed for a Divorce Soon?
The San Francisco 49ers have voided wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) 2026 guarantees, sources tell Michael Silver of The Athletic. Just 15 months after Aiyuk signed a four-year contract extension worth $120 million, he and the 49ers look headed for a divorce. It wasn't long after the 27-year-old former first-rounder signed that extension that he suffered a season-ending knee injury last October. Aiyuk was put on the Physically Unable to Perform list in July and has yet to be activated. According to numerous sources briefed on the matter, it's "now likely that he has played his last game with the franchise." Aiyuk has failed to attend meetings and hasn't taken part in other team activities in recent months, and the Niners are "growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of communication." So not only is it unlikely that Aiyuk plays again for San Fran, but it seems the team will release him at season's end. For fantasy purposes, there are real questions as to whether he can regain his pre-injury form in 2026 after he tore his ACL, MCL, and meniscus on Oct. 20 of 2024.
