Brandon Aiyuk Says 49ers 'Lied' and Calls Out Team for Voiding Contract Guarantees amid Injury Rehab
Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is publicly expressing frustration on social media as he seeks a trade or release from the team.
- Aiyuk claims the 49ers lied about the timing of voiding his contract guarantees while he was recovering from torn ACL and MCL injuries.
- Head coach Kyle Shanahan stated the decision to void guarantees was made in July, but emphasized his focus remained on Aiyuk’s recovery and the current season.
- Aiyuk missed the entire 2025 season, and general manager John Lynch indicated in January that Aiyuk’s time with the 49ers is likely over.
- Despite Aiyuk’s calls for a trade, including interest in the Washington Commanders, his recent social media outbursts may hinder his chances of an immediate departure.
