Judge Issues Arrest Warrant for 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk Over 104 mph Speeding Near Levi's Stadium

Summary

  • $5,000 bond was set after a Santa Clara County judge signed a Feb. 24 warrant accusing Brandon Aiyuk of misdemeanor "exhibition of speed on a highway."
  • The case stems from a Dec. 20, 2025 video Aiyuk posted showing himself driving past Levi's Stadium at triple-digit speeds; a related report put the peak at 104 mph in a 40 mph zone.
  • The warrant adds to Aiyuk's prolonged absence from the 49ers, who have struggled to contact him and already voided $27 million in 2026 guarantees over reported rehab noncompliance.
  • Aiyuk remains on San Francisco's 90-man roster but counts $12.35 million against this year's cap and $21.25 million in 2027, even as the team has not publicly embraced his return.
