“It is secure to say he has performed his final sport with the 49ers,” Lynch mentioned of Aiyuk on Wednesday, by way of KGMZ-FM in San Francisco. “It is an unlucky state of affairs that went awry.

Aiyuk —the ninth-highest-paid WR within the league — underperformed after he signed his deal. In seven video games in 2024, the 27-year-old logged 53.4 receiving yards per sport (374 yards), the second-lowest mark of his profession after tallying a career-high 83.9 (1,342 yards in 16 video games) in 2023.
