The San Francisco 49ers have taken a significant financial step by voiding over $26 million in guaranteed money from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s contract. This move, described as an ‘unusual’ situation by head coach Kyle Shanahan, comes after Aiyuk missed team meetings and declined to participate in activities following his knee injury sustained in October 2024.
Details of the Contract Void
The exact amount voided is reported to be $26.15 million for the upcoming season, according to multiple sources including The Washington Post and Bangla news. This decision signals a major rift between Aiyuk and the organization, as he has not been actively participating in team activities since his injury.
Coach Shanahan’s Comments
Kyle Shanahan confirmed the report during an interview, stating that this situation is ‘extremely unusual’ and developed over the summer. The coach did not provide further details but emphasized the severity of Aiyuk’s absence from team meetings and activities.
