Brandon Aiyuk is under contract for a little more than $14 million this season. The #49ers survived a trade request from Deebo Samuel. We’ll see if they can find their way through this one from Aiyuk. https://t.co/jKpRuBqOkJ
I think I read somewhere that Aiyuk is looking for close to $30 million/yr, and SF only wants to pay him in the low to mid $20s. I get that he's a top-10 WR the last season or two, but he's not on the same tier with JJ, Davante Adams, Tyreek, Amon-Ra, etc., imo. He should take the $24 million/yr or whatever and try to win SBs in SF. Wherever he gets traded to, they won't be in real contention for a Ring anytime soon; it's how they'll be able to afford him, fcs. [Reply]

We don't really need him anymore. But a big contract wr can absolutely fit because it would make us a cheat code on offense. If he's slotted anywhere near justin Jefferson? Nah, that's too rich for our blood.
But as of right now, yeah we're loaded and don't need it [Reply]

He does that but then also has seasons where Jimmy G gets a season ender and his Niners completely implode and finish 4-12.
Honestly, if you're such a great QB whisperer like he has the reputation of, he should have at least gone .500 in those seasons. Andy did that shit all the time. [Reply]
He is definitely not coming here. We shouldn’t really need him given the improvement in our WR room. And there’s no way we would pay what he would want. And no way San Francisco would trade him to us. I expect he’ll stay in San Francisco and try to improve his negotiating position for when he probably goes somewhere else next year.
But I do wonder if the chargers will make an attractive offer. [Reply]
If Aiyuk wanted $30mil/yr maybe he should've showed up to play in the Super Bowl. Bro got outplayed by Jennings. And for those giving all of the credit to Sneed and McDuffy blanketing him, for $30mil/yr you better figure out a way to get open. [Reply]

You think shanahan gives them the liberty to free lance? Hell no. They live by the sword and die by the sword in San Fran. [Reply]
Without reading the posts, he ain't going NO WHERE! He will be tagged unless a team like the Commanders or whoever makes a ridiculous offer for him. Either way, he stays and plays for the 49ers. Nothing to see here move along. [Reply]
