Brandon Aiyuk, the San Francisco 49ers wide receiver, met with the team's front office on November 6, 2026, to discuss his potential return to the NFL after a long injury layoff. Aiyuk, who has not played since suffering an ACL and MCL injury in October 2024, claims to be fully recovered and ready to resume his career. The meeting, which included Aiyuk's new agent Drew Rosenhaus, remained private with no public statements from either side. The 49ers, however, have indicated that Aiyuk's return to the team is unlikely, with head coach Kyle Shanahan expressing disinterest in the matter. Additionally, the NFL has informed Aiyuk that he owes the 49ers approximately $13 million in bonus forfeitures from a contract extension signed in 2024, which the team voided after Aiyuk missed mandatory rehab sessions.
