SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Though there are still obstacles to work through, the San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk finally appear headed toward a resolution to their tumultuous relationship.

Aiyuk, flanked by his agent Drew Rosenhaus, arrived at the Niners' business offices Friday afternoon to meet with the team and begin hammering out a path toward a divorce that has been more than two years in the making.

In his first public comments to Bay Area media since his knee injury in October 2024, Aiyuk offered a brief statement before he and Rosenhaus headed into the meeting, which lasted about an hour and 15 minutes.

He doesn't have 13mm, guaranteed.

No one that works for the 49ers should want that dude anywhere near the facility

agreed.

You can see how this will play out. He is likely healthy and probably convinced himself he is "better" mentally. A request like this from the 49ers will derail that and he will likely go back to doing Ayiuk type things. His only hope is that his new agent keeps him in check b/c there is a payday waiting for him should he get him back in the league.

No chance he repays $13mm to get back in the league. No one’s giving him more than league min to start out

Lol he better hope they put his arse on some kinda installments cause 99% sure he doesn't have that kinda scratch easily accessible. From the 9ers perspective though, that's a risky gamble that he would play long enough for them to recoup that even if they were able to garnish his checks or some shite from another team. Stupid is as stupid does

Never understood why he refused to apply for reinstatement earlier. I guess he had 13m reasons why
