Aiyuk in NFL limbo as 49ers weigh trades and reinstatement
49ers GM John Lynch said Brandon Aiyuk remains in NFL limbo because he won’t apply for reinstatement while under contract, leaving him off the 90-man roster and available for a trade that has yet to materialize; the team has granted permission to explore a deal, Aiyuk has signaled he plans to sign with Washington after release, and San Francisco voided $27 million guaranteed from his 2024 deal with it unclear if they will reclaim any portion of his $23 million signing bonus; Aiyuk hasn’t played since a 2024 knee injury and the club is focusing on players at camp.
