Brandon Aiyuk and 49ers relationship deteriorates amid off-field issues
Summary

The San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk appear headed for a split following a series of incidents. Aiyuk missed the entire 2025 season due to injuries and failed to attend rehab sessions, voiding nearly $30 million in guarantees. Tensions escalated with a controversial YouTube video and social media posts, including reckless driving. In January 2026, Niners GM John Lynch indicated Aiyuk likely played his last snap for San Francisco. Recent player acquisitions, including Mike Evans and De'Zhaun Stribling, suggest the team is planning for life without Aiyuk as they move forward into the 2026 season.
