49ers won't pay Aiyuk during roster exemption period
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers will not compensate receiver Brandon Aiyuk during his two-week roster exemption, which began after his recent reinstatement. Aiyuk has a salary of $13.75 million for the season but will not receive a game check for Week 10 due to a provision in the Collective Bargaining Agreement. While he remains on the team, Aiyuk has been excused from all team activities and is working out independently. The 49ers have until November 24 to decide his future, with speculation around a potential release after the exemption expires.
