I remember being told that the 49ers can't and won't do this. Wanted to release him asap……

It's up to Aiyuk if he wants to be released he'll have to report. That being said I don't think it's wise to have this looming large dead cap hit that can show up randomly. We have positioned our self pretty well if we play this game however

If he doesn't show up to any of the preseason stuff, the Niners could put him on the Did Not Report List and void all of his 2026 salary, but still maintain his rights until his contract is up. I'm sure the NFLPA would pitch a fit, but this is a move they could make. The team has all of the leverage, and I would for sure do it if he failed to report.

If he doesn't show up at all I'm pretty sure his contract rolls over indefinitely.

I hope he's stupid enough to stay away for the mandatory stuff. His best chance to get bounced early is to show up and make things uncomfortable.

He can't show up and act like nothing happened. There's a reinstatement process. Almost like a retired player coming out of retirement to play
