Overview
- Brandon Aiyuk remains on the 49ers' Reserve/Left‑Team list, posted a roughly 90‑second Instagram video publicly attacking the club, and faces a Santa Clara County warrant tied to a speeding incident.
- The Reserve/Left‑Team designation means Aiyuk is not on the 90‑man roster and is not receiving pay, and the 49ers now have the practical option to trade or release him after a contract timing point that recently passed.
- If the 49ers move him, the team could split his dead‑cap charge over two years, but any trade would depend on Aiyuk passing medical checks tied to his major 2024 knee injury.
- Separately, a proposed Maxx Crosby trade fell through and he remains with the Raiders while rehabbing a January meniscus operation with uncertain minicamp availability.
- Other offseason developments to watch are Jacoby Brissett's planned attendance at the Cardinals' mandatory minicamp, Baker Mayfield's request for contract clarity before training camp, Eric Bieniemy's emphasis on fundamentals in Kansas City, and the Giants' report that Abdul Carter's ankle injury appears minor.
