Brandon Aiyuk to return to 49ers' facility Friday afternoon, reportedly discussing forfeiture of $13 million bonus
Aiyuk's return to San Francisco will hopefully resolve a year-long saga.
Brandon Aiyuk, a wide receiver, is set to return to the San Francisco 49ers' facility on Friday afternoon. He is reportedly in discussions with the team regarding the forfeiture of $13 million in bonus payments. This development comes two years after Aiyuk's last NFL appearance, following a severe injury in October 2024. The controversy began last November when the 49ers voided Aiyuk's 2026 contract due to his strained relationship with the organization.
In June, Aiyuk publicly asked the 49ers to release him, stating that he would never return to the team's facility. Now, with his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, leading the negotiations, Aiyuk will attempt to resolve the situation and find a new team. The NFL Management Council and NFL Players Association are involved in finding a resolution, which may involve paying back the bonus or going through arbitration.
