The Brandon Aiyuk Era in San Francisco is effectively over, as the star first-round pick will have a new team next year. Selected early in the 2020 NFL Draft, the Arizona State product quickly became one of the best players on a loaded 49ers roster and earned a four-year, $120 million contract extension prior to the 2024 season. Unfortunately, the wheels soon fell off the wagon, as he tore his ACL seven games after signing the massive deal.
Now, it appears as though Brandon Aiyuk will never play another down for his current team. The wide receiver spent the year recovering from his knee injury and, according to reports, missed meetings and team activities throughout the season. This led to the 49ers voiding the guaranteed money in Aiyuk’s contract, and Aiyuk has reportedly told the NFLPA not to fight the team on this decision.
