49ers' Brandon Aiyuk fumbled in a big way by turning down trade to Patriots

The dramatic saga between wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers has been ongoing since the team's Super Bowl loss in 2024, but it seems like it could be coming to an end soon.

Reporting in The Athletic suggests the Niners plan on releasing Aiyuk after this season and that they have voided his guaranteed money for 2026 because he was not attending meetings as he rehabs from his major knee injury suffered last season.

As San Francisco was negotiating his contract extension after the 2023 season, his antics led to trade talks with other teams.
