49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk gets reinstated to NFL. What happens next?
San Francisco Chronicle • • sports
Key Points:
- The NFL reinstated Brandon Aiyuk nearly 11 months after the San Francisco 49ers placed him on the reserve/left squad list, but he is not back on the team's 53-man roster and likely will be released during a two-game roster exemption period ending November 23.
- The 49ers and Aiyuk’s agent are negotiating financial terms, with the team believing Aiyuk owes about $13 million in bonus forfeiture for missed time, while the NFL Management Council and NFL Players Association are involved.
- Aiyuk and his agent recently held a 75-minute business meeting with 49ers officials, but no resolution was reached; head coach Kyle Shanahan has expressed no interest in Aiyuk returning to the team.
- Aiyuk stated his goal is to be reinstated into the NFL, a step now completed, with the next phase focused on resolving the contractual and roster status issues between him and the 49ers.
