The tumult surrounding wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and the San Francisco 49ers doesn't seem to be going away despite several attempts by both head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch to bury it.
And the latest comments by Lynch don't exactly paint a great picture either.
Aiyuk, of course, hasn't played since October of 2024 when he suffered a devastating ACL and MCL tear, plus additional damage to his knee. Combined with a lucrative contract extension the Niners immediately regretted the previous offseason, followed by a voiding of his 2026 guarantees, Aiyuk's long-term future in the Bay Area is in serious doubt.
