Wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk owes the San Francisco 49ers roughly $13 million in bonus forfeiture, which could complicate his attempts to secure a release from the team, Tom Pelissero of The Ringer reports.
The NFL Players Association and NFL management council are attempting to resolve the situation, according to Pelissero. The 49ers and Aiyuk could reportedly reach an agreement to repay the money, or it could go to arbitration.
The 49ers placed Aiyuk on the reserve/left team list last December because he stopped showing up to the facility during his recovery from an ACL tear. He applied to be reinstated this week and plans to report to the team facility Friday, according to his new agent, Drew Rosenhaus.
