49ers to Retain Brandon Aiyuk as Key Bonus Deadline Approaches

The wide receiver is set to remain with San Francisco for the 2025 season, with a $22.85 million bonus due on Tuesday solidifying his role after recovery from a major knee injury.

  • Brandon Aiyuk is not expected to be traded before the Tuesday deadline for his $22.85 million roster bonus, per sources.
  • Once the bonus is paid, Aiyuk will remain with the San Francisco 49ers for the 2025 NFL season.
  • Aiyuk signed a four-year, $120 million contract extension in August 2024 after a holdout during offseason negotiations.
  • The wide receiver's 2024 season was cut short in October due to an ACL and MCL injury in his right knee, but he is expected to return as a key offensive player.
  • The 49ers traded Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders earlier this offseason, further emphasizing Aiyuk's importance to the team's offensive strategy.
