Kyle Juszczyk proudly recalls making $5.15 an hour. That was minimum wage 20 years ago, when he was a teenager in Medina, Ohio, about an hour south of Cleveland. He worked with his brother, Sean, who's six years older and was their manager at McDonald's. That carried extra power at Thanksgiving break, when they would head to a snow-covered football field at the local high school.
During training camp, the 49ers voided the guaranteed money Aiyuk has in his contract for 2026 because he had not been meeting the requirements of that deal, a league source said Friday. The Athletic first reported the contract alteration, which includes an option bonus worth $24.935 million. That bonus originally became guaranteed on April 1 of this year and has now been voided.
Williams got hurt with four minutes remaining in Sunday's 34-24 win over the host New York Giants. The 49ers' lead was at 34-17 when Williams lined up at left defensive end, raced past left tackle Marcus Mbow, and grasped at quarterback Jaxson Dart as he backpedaled and unleashed an incomplete pass from the Giants' 31-yard line. Williams immediately grabbed at his right knee and banged his hands into his helmet while splayed on his back on the MetLife Stadium's synthetic field, which has long come under fire for safety concerns.
