49ers to Fine Brandon Aiyuk

Brandon Aiyuk, wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, has been medically cleared to play but is continuing his holdout while seeking a new contract. His absence from all team activities has led the team to express concerns, and he faces daily fines that could escalate significantly if he remains absent. Aiyuk's current contract guarantees him over $14 million for the season, but he has missed 20 practices and three preseason games while negotiations have stalled. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch have indicated their disappointment with his absence, emphasizing the need for Aiyuk to participate in practice as the season opener approaches. The team has hinted that fines could soon be levied if he continues to stay away, as they are eager to resolve the situation and focus on their Super Bowl aspirations. The ongoing standoff reflects a complex negotiation process that has left both Aiyuk and the 49ers at an impasse.
