The San Francisco 49ers have voided about $27 million in guarantees on wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's contract for 2026, citing his failure to attend meetings and team activities during knee rehab.

Frustrations built after staff and players reached out unanswered, and Aiyuk won't challenge the move, setting up a likely post-season release for the 27-year-old after his $120 million extension.
