Brandon Aiyuk's 49ers Future Addressed by John Lynch After WR Applies for NFL Reinstatement

Adam WellsNov 5, 2026

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch was tight-lipped about the team's plan for Brandon Aiyuk after the veteran wide receiver applied for reinstatement on Wednesday following an 11-month stint on the reserve/left squad list.

Appearing on KNBR's Murph & Markus show (h/t Harrison Rich of the San Francisco Chronicle), Lynch said the situation with Aiyuk remains "fluid" and all options remain on the table:

"I'm gonna kind of leave it at that, because I've been recommended to do so, and I think it's the right thing to do. We'll look for a pathway for both sides here that works. ... I think everything's possible. I will say this: We've worked with (agent Drew Rosenhaus) a lot. Drew is a good guy to deal with. He's reasonable, he's got integrity. โ€ฆ We'll see how this thing goes. I think I'll just leave it at that."
