The San Francisco 49ers are seeking to recover significant funds from wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk due to his contract violations. Aiyuk, who suffered a torn ACL and MCL in the 2024 offseason, missed the entire 2025 season and failed to report for required rehab sessions. Following his actions, sources indicate the 49ers could reclaim between $13.8 million and $18.4 million, which stems from voided guarantees in his contract. The 49ers already sought to retrieve money from Aiyuk last offseason, and his continued absence from the team further complicates the situation. There has been speculation regarding Aiyuk's commitment to football, indicating the relationship between him and the 49ers is severely strained.
