49ers face decision on Brandon Aiyuk's $20 million contract savings

As of June 1, the San Francisco 49ers have the option to cut wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and save approximately $20 million against the salary cap. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler noted that rival executives deem Aiyuk untradeable due to a knee issue and diminished communication with the team. The 49ers' management appears hesitant to acknowledge this possibility publicly, despite the growing sentiment that Aiyuk's future with the team is uncertain. The team will soon focus on players participating in upcoming OTAs and mandatory minicamp, while Aiyuk's status remains a concern as the summer progresses.
