49ers GM Lynch says Aiyuk likely played his last snap for team.

49ers GM John Lynch stated at a Jan. 21 press conference that Aiyuk had likely played his last snap for the team. The team voided the guarantees in Aiyuk's four-year, $120 million extension in Nov. 2025 after he failed to attend meetings and declined to participate in team activities. Given the bad blood between the two sides, it appears unlikely that Aiyuk would return to the 49ers' active roster, though the team prefers to trade him rather than grant his release.
