-- 49ers & Brandon Aiyuk Heading Towards a Divorce --
Fri Nov 21, 2025 --from FFMastermind.com

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports fifteen months ago, WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee - PUP) and the San Francisco 49ers ended a contentious contract dispute by negotiating a four-year, $120 million extension. It now appears that Aiyuk and the 49ers are headed for a stunning divorce. Aiyuk, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last October, was placed on the physically unable to perform list in July and has yet to be activated. It’s now likely that he has played his last game with the franchise, according to numerous sources briefed on the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive situation. Some in the organization are holding out hope that the relationship can be salvaged enough for him to return this season. However, multiple sources believe that a reconciliation is unlikely. Aiyuk, sources say, has failed to attend meetings and declined to participate in other team activities in recent months, and the 49ers have grown increasingly frustrated with the receiver’s lack of communication. The 49ers, sources say, responded by voiding the guaranteed money in Aiyuk’s contract for 2026, asserting that the absences amounted to a failure to fulfill his contractual obligations. Aiyuk, according to multiple league sources, told NFL Players Association representatives that he did not want to fight the move via an official grievance. That would clear the way for his expected release at season’s end.
