Summary
Brandon Aiyuk’s standoff with the 49ers is heating up — he’s been vocal, inactive since October, and reportedly wants out, but his tactics may be backfiring. The team, having already paid him $18M, holds leverage and must decide by Sept. 1 whether to pick up his $9.56M option bonus. Aiyuk’s current strategy — refusing to show up — could be risky; analysts suggest he file for reinstatement and attend camp on July 25, forcing the Niners’ hand and likely leading to his release — exactly what he’s aiming for.
