What happened: San Francisco has not formally cut ties with Aiyuk. General manager John Lynch declined to expand on his status, saying his focus is on players in camp.
Why it matters: The impasse has outlasted Lynch's April invitation for trade calls. San Francisco retains Aiyuk's rights while building its roster for the 2026 season.
By the numbers: Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million extension in 2024; San Francisco later voided $27 million in 2026 guarantees.
What to watch: A trade, release or reinstatement would mark the next formal change.
