Could have traded him, played hardball then, like always, succumbed in the end.
He played awful/been injured ever since.
Great move whiners.

fuck stupid Ayuik, sounds like the Whiners are going to save a bunch of cap for 27 & 28.

Yes I don't like that part. I'd rather he stay a Whiner and fuck their salary cap for the foreseeable future. I completely hate this news.
Looks like Brandon Aiyuk has taken his last snap for 49ers.

49ers Expected to Release Star WR Brandon Aiyuk at Season's End
According to a report from The Athletic, San Francisco has voided the 2026 guarantees in Aiyuk's contract.

As long as they keep spending it on the Me Not We guys who cares?
I never thought he was in the first place. There were numerous teams who had at least one WR better than him.
Never understood why they ended up giving him all that $$ after the way everything went down. He kept naming where he would rather be. They could have just let him walk and drafted someone in addition to pearsol. Besides, I could see the emergence of jennings, making ayuck expendable.
Apples and oranges, AD is the goat and deserves to be paid by a classy organization. Aiyuck never earned his contract and the whiners are a dumpster fire organization.
Two different situations actually. Aiyuk like everyone else including AD will have clauses in their contract that if they do x, y or z they can have guarantees voided. Those are often things getting you arrested or charged with a crime or in the case of Aiyuk refusing to do team activities. AD had these same things I'm sure in his contract he just didn't act like an idiot like Aiyuk is. Now the Rams could have gone after part of his signing bonus and other bonuses that he didn't "earn" because he retired before the contract expired but I don't think the Rams would do that with a player like AD but that's just my 2 cents on that.

Aiyuck is one of those guys that just thought- Ima get me a bag- and had no desire to work hard, no love for the game.
He had it tattooed on his face. Obvious to all but Whiner megalomaniac's.

I love how he says "Rams fans talk so much Sh$t to us Niner fans Bro." I don't know when our somewhat "good guy" fan base got a backbone, but I absolutely love it! The ultimate sign of fear is when that 49's fan base is that emotionally involved of our demise, and we just keep winning.
@OldSchool made some excellent points.
Still, there are other factors.
The Niners were going to ATTEMPT to avoid paying guaranteed-$, claiming Aiyuk violated certain clauses.
If Aiyuk had successfully fought that, he would have gotten his money but been stuck on a team he did not want to play for, and did not want his lame-ass. Meanwhile, the Niners would have had a big cap hit for a player they no longer wanted. Both sides would have been miserable.
The only parties to have benefited would have been Niners' opponents ... like the Rams!
As it appears to be headed, Aiyuk would be a free agent (he is happy); and the 49ers get rid of a player they do not want, while getting some cap relief. Both sides benefit.
One thing to keep in mind, the Niners will still have salary cap charges for Aiyuk in 2026 (and possibly 2027) ... just not as much as they otherwise would have had.
While Aiyuk and San Francisco may be happy, they both needed to go through an Ugly Process to get there.
For years now, the Rams organization has been able to Avoid these type of situations.
Spotrac has Aiyuk's dead cap hit at 55 million. But because they voided the guaranteed money it becomes 29 millions. I got this from the AI overview:
I wonder if Aiyuk will challenge that? Obviously he doesn't deserve it. Not being part of the team is a red flag. Me not We guy. But I still hope he challenges and wins because its the 49ers.
