Aiyuk to Meet 49ers at Business Offices, Not Practice Facility
Brandon Aiyuk's meeting with the 49ers will occur at the team's business offices, not the practice facility.
The Brief
- Aiyuk will not enter the team facility on Friday.
- The meeting is not a formal reporting session but a negotiation.
- The 49ers are tying Aiyuk's return to a disputed $13 million signing bonus.
Brandon Aiyuk is set to meet with the 49ers at the team's business offices, not at the team's practice facility.
According to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, the meeting will not take place at the team facility, as Aiyuk is not attempting to enter it.
The 49ers have not reinstated Aiyuk from the reserve/left squad list, despite Rosenhaus submitting a request on October 27.
The meeting is presumably aimed at negotiating a resolution to Aiyuk's current situation, rather than serving as a formal return to the team.
The 49ers have pushed to reporters the idea that Aiyuk's return to the NFL is tied to a $13 million signing bonus they believe he owes.
The team is tying Aiyuk's ability to play to his willingness to wire the disputed funds to the team, even though it is not part of the standard reinstatement process.
