Brandon Aiyuk submitted paperwork to the NFL for his reinstatement. 2026-11-04 10:00:02 Aiyuk’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed the development on Wednesday, and said Aiyuk would report to the 49ers on Friday. That could expedite his release from the team so he could seek employment with another, presumably wideout-needy NFL team. Aiyuk’s erratic behavior over the past year and questions about his conditioning could prevent some teams from pursuing him. “Brandon is healthy and ready to get back on the field,” Rosenhaus said. He had been closely linked to the Commanders before a series of online meltdowns in the offseason. The Rams could be in the market for Aiyuk with Davante Adams (hamstring) sidelined indefinitely. Aiyuk is still unlikely to have any fantasy value this season. |

NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports free agent WR Brandon Aiyuk “is close to hiring new representatives in an effort to get back to the NFL and on a team.” 2026-11-02 15:00:02 An entire offseason spent creating goofy Instagram videos in hopes of willing himself onto the Commanders’ roster didn’t go as Aiyuk had hoped. Instead, the 28-year-old receiver, who last played a snap in 2024, remains under contract with the 49ers after failing to apply for reinstatement, which remains the first step he would need to take if he hopes to be made available to other teams. The 49ers put a “left squad designation” on Aiyuk back in July, meaning while he remains under contract with the team, he does not count against the team’s 53-man roster. It seems unlikely he will remain with the Niners if/when he applies for reinstatement, meaning the team will either have to release him or find a trade suitor for him before this month’s deadline. It would be surprising if Aiyuk played a snap for any team in 2026. |

California authorities have issued a warrant for the arrest of 49ers’ WR Brandon Aiyuk. 2026-06-03 17:00:02 The warrant stems from a video recorded by Aiyuk in December in which the beleaguered receiver filmed himself speeding past Levi’s Stadium. Aiyuk remains a member of the 49ers but the team has publicly stated that he has played his last snap with the franchise. Expectations were that the 49ers were looking to trade Aiyuk following June 1, but the most recent fallout from his display of character could throw a wrench in any ongoing negotiations. He appears headed for a release, subjecting himself to the mercy of the free agent market that also includes other notable veteran wide receivers. |

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said his “feeling” is that the 49ers will “probably not” be able to trade WR Brandon Aiyuk. 2026-05-31 18:00:03 The 49ers voided Aiyuk’s 2026 guarantees in November and will only be required to pay him if he remains on the roster on September 1st. Fowler said a trade is still possible, but questions remain about Aiyuk’s surgically repaired knee. He also has not spoken to the organization for some time. It’s an unfortunate situation that could drag on for a while. |

The Mercury News’ Cam Inman reports that 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk “is expected to be released if not traded by summer’s end.” 2026-05-21 18:00:03 Our most recent report on Aiyuk came from The Athletic’s Matt Barrows late in April. Barrows believes the team’s first organized team activities session, on May 27th, “might be an unofficial marker” for Aiyuk’s release. That date is just six days away and no new trade rumors have surfaced. If they wish to end the saga, we could see him hit free agency soon. It sounds like they may be committed to holding out for a trade partner this summer, though. |
