– Aiyuk on the way out? Brandon Aiyuk isn’t on the roster after a torn ACL rehab saga, and San Francisco voided his 2026 contract guarantees. GM John Lynch didn’t sugarcoat it: “I think it’s safe to say he’s played his last snap with the 49ers.” 🧵
– Clear cap path: A release looks like the easiest way to free up money, even though a trade remains technically possible, it’s unlikely given the contract situation. 💰
– WR depth in flux: With Jauan Jennings hitting free agency, the 49ers’ receiver depth chart is wide open heading into the offseason. 📊
– Big takeaway: San Francisco is clearly moving on from the Aiyuk era and pivoting to rebuild the WR corps for 2026, with the door open for new players to emerge. ⚡️
Big moments like this redefine a team’s offense, and the 49ers are in full “reload” mode at wide receiver. 🏈📈
