Brandon Aiyuk plans to meet with 49ers at team's business offices, not team facility
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk will not enter the team’s practice facility on Friday, as his meeting with the team is scheduled at their business offices instead.
- The NFL has not yet reinstated Aiyuk from the reserve/left squad list, despite a reinstatement request filed on October 27 by his agent Drew Rosenhaus.
- The upcoming meeting is intended to negotiate a resolution rather than serve as a formal reporting-for-duty by Aiyuk.
- The 49ers are linking Aiyuk’s return to the NFL with a $13 million signing bonus they claim he owes, using this financial dispute to influence his reinstatement and roster status.
- The NFL and 49ers are collaborating to recover the disputed funds before allowing Aiyuk to rejoin the league, delaying what would normally be an administrative process.
