@49ersSportsTalk Congratulations!!!!

[Dontay Atkinson @DonAtkinsonNFL]

A timely clarification of the 49ers/Brandon Aiyuk situation here by Lombardi, particularly with regard to the misconception some have that the 49ers must release Aiyuk by the start of the season, or be stuck paying him. This is not the case. If Aiyuk does not report for camp and OTAs, the 49ers can continue to withhold any payment, including the roster bonus that would otherwise be owed to Aiyuk In late August.

I would add a few additional points:

(1) If Aiyuk doesn’t show up at the 49ers facility ready to participate, the team can attach a DNR (Did Not Report) designation on him for as long as he is absent.

(2) That DNR tag means not only would they not have to pay him, they could FINE him in the neighborhood of $50K per day for each day he fails to report. That fine would be stripped out of any future contract Aiyuk might sign, and the money then handed over to SF.

(3) If Aiyuk is tagged with a DNR, he no longer counts toward a roster spot, and the team can and will carry a full 53 man roster (or 90 man before the cut), even though Aiyuk is still under contract.

The bottom line is:

The only party who can dislodge the 49ers from their complete control of Aiyuk, is Aiyuk himself—and only by reporting for training camp. As long as he stays away, the 49ers can withhold all pay, bank up $50K per day against him in fines (payable when he signs somewhere else), enjoy a full roster without him, and block him from playing football anywhere else.

If Aiyuk does not report, the 49ers could simply sit on him until 2029, not pay him a dime, functionally ending his NFL career.

People who think Aiyuk can just hide and wait until September are woefully mistaken. And as long as Aiyuk stays away, the Commanders will be sitting at the lighthouse window, staring out to sea, waiting for the next three years for a ship that’s not coming.
