San Francisco 49ers injured receiver Brandon Aiyuk had approximately $27 million in guaranteed money voided in his contract for next year in what coach Kyle Shanahan described as an “unusual” situation that developed over the summer.
The Athletic reported Friday that Aiyuk had his guarantees voided because he failed to participate in meetings and other team activities and that he didn’t plan to contest it. Shanahan wouldn’t get into specifics but said the move by the team happened in July.
“It takes a lot of things to get a contract voided,” Shanahan said Saturday. “I don’t even know, 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.”
