This dude is a loser. He's healthy enough to play but is acting like a teenage girl. He has quit on this team. Just as bad as de'vondre campbell. Get him out of here next year.

Kyle did say that he has rarely seen a contract voided like that. I am sort of shocked the 49ers organization just did not leave everything as is even if Ayiuk was missing meetings. Why rock the boat and just not pay Ayiuk as promised?
I know this is an unpopular opinion, but if I'm the 49ers, try your best to reconcile this situation and keep Ayiuk for next year playing on this team. He is a good player and we need him. And we do have rights to him.
I don't get how you are shocked. The 49ers front office regretted giving BA that deal, and BA gave them an excuse to get out of that contract. Furthermore, BA doesn't want to be here, so he didn't even bother fighting for his $27 million. That's extremely telling.
BA is gone. While the football side(Shanny+Lynch) wants him back, the 49ers front office wants him gone, and BA wants to go. It's beyond time to move on already.

It's dumb. Successful franchises don't normally operate like this. Kyle's competence as a HC covers up a lot of warts.

They do not want to pay him. It's pretty simple. He's done as a 49er.
Well if they don't want to pay him, then why haven't they released him?
Trust me, stuff is going on behind the scenes.

People can second guess their decisions till the cows come home, but this is a results driven league. The results aren't simply team success, but drafting players like Warner, Kittle, Purdy in later rounds.

They've had success in roster building, but I don't think this is the point Ring is making.

Yeah, understand and agree to a degree. As a fan I didn't agree with how this has been handled from the start, same as Deebo. Hoping there isn't the same type friction as when Harbaugh was here.

If I am right and Ayiuk is all healed up and ready to play like his former self pre injury, there are 2 reasons why the 49ers have not released him:
1. They don't want him signed by an opponent this year and
2. They believe they can get draft capital for him.

I don't think there is any way he is close to his per-injury health. It wasn't a simple ACL tear he had, his knee basically exploded. I hope he can recover fully weather he plays another snap with the Niners or not but there's a good chance he is never the same.
