49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed a report that the team has voided the remaining guaranteed money on wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s deal during his Saturday press conference.

Aiyuk had a guaranteed salary of $26.15 million for the 2026 season, but did not challenge the team’s decision. Per the report from TheAthletic.com, Aiyuk, who has not played since Week 7 of last season due to a serious knee injury, “failed to attend meetings and declined to participate in other team activities in recent months.”
Shanahan said that players who are rehabbing often miss team activities because “their schedule is totally different than the rest of the team” while decling to specify exactly why the 49ers decided to take this step in July.

It takes a lot of things to get a contract voided. Honestly, I’ve never dealt with that in my career or been in any building that’s had that. So it was unusual, but that’s stuff that I can’t get into right now.”...

Daboll resisted calls to let Bowen go after the team blew big leads in the fourth quarter of losses to the Cowboys and Broncos. They did it again against the Bears in Daboll’s final game in Week 10 and blew their fifth double-digit lead of the season in Sunday’s overtime loss to the Lions...
