  "account": "Brandon Aiyuk, the 49ers wide receiver, will not return to play for the team again. On Friday, he visited the 49ers' business offices to meet with them in hopes of reaching a resolution. According to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, Aiyuk arrived via van, visibly healthy and ready to get back to work. However, the future remains uncertain as the relationship between the player and the 49ers has deteriorated since his ACL tear on October 20, 2024. The 49ers subsequently voided his contract due to his refusal to rehab at their facility and placed him on the reserve/left squad list on December 13, 2025. Rosenhaus had filed a reinstatement request on October 27, but the NFL has yet to act. Despite Aiyuk's optimism about his recovery, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan dismissed the meeting's significance, stating that it was over for their football team long ago.",
