Brandon Aiyuk says he won't be "reinstating" with the 49ers
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Brandon Aiyuk has stated he will not petition the NFL for reinstatement from the 49ers' reserve/left squad list, a necessary step to become a free agent.
- He publicly declared on Instagram that he will not engage in any business with the 49ers and is focused on returning to play this season elsewhere.
- Aiyuk accused the 49ers of dishonesty regarding the voiding of his contract guarantees and his willingness to return to the team.
- The 49ers have no incentive to release Aiyuk from the reserve/left squad list, leaving him in contractual limbo unless he takes the required reinstatement step.
- Without filing for reinstatement, Aiyuk cannot force the 49ers to release him, hindering any potential move to another team like the Commanders.
