Meets with 49ers on Friday Prior to meeting with 49ers officials Friday, Aiyuk (personal) told assembled media that he's "feeling great, healthy" and "looking to get reinstated to the National Football Leagu...

Impact Per Wagoner, Aiyuk submitted paperwork to be reinstated to the NFL in late October, and since then both the NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association have been involved in an attempt to reach a resolution that's agreeable to both the wide receiver and the 49ers. Tom Pelissero of Netflix reported Thursday that Aiyuk's efforts to secure his release may be hampered by the roughly $13 million in bonus forfeitures that he owes the team, which could mean arbitration comes into play and delays the process. Friday's meeting between Aiyuk, his agent Drew Rosenhaus and San Francisco brass was only the first step. If the sides reach an agreement, the 49ers will have three options: release Aiyuk, trade him before Tuesday's deadline or add him to their 53-man roster.

Impact Pelissero notes that the NFL Management Council and the NFL Players Association are both involved in trying to reaching a resolution that is agreeable to both Aiyuk and the 49ers. It's possible that the embattled wideout could ultimately agree to pay back the money in order to potentially have an opportunity to move on with another club, but there's also a chance the issue goes to arbitration. Aiyuk is planning to show up at San Francisco's facility Friday, though that is unlikely to bring the matter to a close. In fact, it could take an extended period of time to sort out a path forward, especially if arbitration is brought into play.

Path forward murky Head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch both declined to get into specifics when discussing the future of Aiyuk, who has filed his paperwork for reinstatement and plans to show...

Impact Lynch previously stated "I think it's safe to say that he's played his last snap with the Niners" regarding Aiyuk in January, but the GM was much less definitive Thursday when asked about a reunion with Aiyuk, responding with "I think everything's possible." Head coach Kyle Shanahan gave a similar answer Wednesday, stating "There's no absolutes in life." The 49ers are working with the NFL management council to find a resolution to Aiyuk's situation, so the team's front office and coaching staff are treating this situation as an ongoing legal matter. If Aiyuk is successfully reinstated, the 49ers could trade him, release him or add him to the active roster.

Not an option for injury-plagued Niners Head coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday that he's not viewing Aiyuk as an option for the 49ers while the club contends with multiple injuries at receiver, Matt Barrows of The Athletic...

Impact After undergoing surgery in October 2024 to address ACL and MCL tears in his right knee, Aiyuk is likely fully healthy at this point, but the mercurial wideout appears to have worn out his welcome with the 49ers. General manager John Lynch said in January that Aiyuk had played his last snap with the franchise, and little on that front appears to have changed in the ensuing months. The 49ers still hold the 28-year-old's rights after placing him on the reserve/left squad list last December, and he's already had his $26.66 million salary for 2026 voided since he failed to attend mandatory rehab sessions and meetings. In order to force his release from the 49ers, Aiyuk will need to formally apply for reinstatement with the league, but he indicated in a July 7 story on his personal Instagram account that he has no plans to immediately do so, per David Lombardi of SFStandard.com.
