49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk requests trade

[KingintheNorth]

Only the NFL team owners can fix this mess. They need to demand % salary limits (based on a yearly salary cap) be set for every position, especially the top team salary costing positions, if they ever are going to give all teams a chance to truly be competitive.

How do the Chiefs, Ravens, 49ers, aka successful playoff teams, figure it out?

 

[OmerV]

Nah

-He’ll get paid much more than he’s worth

-WR isn’t even a huge need, nor is it conducive to championship teams

-the Jones family is cheap

It's not even that they are cheap. They aren't at the bottom of the league in spending. It's just a matter of how to allocate money and who to.

Aiyuk for Lance, get it done.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

How good is he? Can he be a No.1 guy? Is he a product of Shanahan's scheme? He reminds me of Tony Hill and Alvin Harper ......... two Cowboys' No.2 WR legends

I think he can arguably be one of the best receivers in the league. I’m not sure why they can’t sign him in San Fran.

Phone call would be over quick.

Aiyuk's agent: "What are you offering for a a contract extension?"

Stephen: "We would like him to play out his deal and see where the leaves fall..... Hello? Are you still on the line?. Dad! These agents are being mean again."

Lol

This is the beginning of the end for that 49ers team. Their chance was last year and they blew it. They won't be able to keep up with all the contracts they have, especially after Purdy signs. Their window has closed, bye bye!

..lol.....the man wants CD money....bwahahaha.. SF is on the rim with money. They gave Bosa half the bank last year.

“demand”? Owners can demand anything they’d like. The NFLPA can, too. But everything must be negotiated. If the owners want something of value from the players they need only offer the players something they want…of equal or greater value. The system is fine. If an owner is no longer enamored with the NFL they can sell their franchise. The players have only one professional football league in which to sell their services. Players play for pay, owners pay to play.

Probably because they don't feel they can pay market or more for McCaffrey, Samuel, Kittle & Aiyuk. It may just be a matter of prioritizing and determining best allocation of cap money

I get that but I mean I’m prioritizing him over every name you listed but Cmac.

Oh I think they can sign him.......I think they are fighting over what he thinks he's worth on the open market vs what THEY think he's worth in Shanahan's offensive system. Remember they have McCaffrey, Deebo and Kittle ......

I think he’s better than all of them but CMac. I think he has potential to be a top 5 receiver in the league.

Why are all teams not truly competitive now? The team he’s requesting a trade from has been to 3 straight NFCCGs

The whole point of the current salary cap system is to allow all teams an equal footing

I forgot they drafted this kid

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I forgot they drafted this kid

I actually did too. I remember they did it at the time and felt him or Deebo would be gone.

 

[speedkilz88]

Guys don't think we can sign the big three right now and they want to sign a guy that will get CeeDee type money - more than Amari Cooper had.

no different than what the niners are doing... isnt it?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

As explosive as our WR room would be, we have much larger needs than WR. I don't want to give up a 1 or more. Maybe if they'd take, say, a 2 or a 2 and a 5, I'd be fine with it. We wouldn't be able to extend him, so I wouldn't want to give up more than that.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Predicted landing spot: Washington Commanders.

Buffalo Bills could be possible as well.

I could see the Steelers, Chargers, or Dolphins doing it. I think the Dolphins would be an intriguing option with Tua and Tyreek.

 

[Stash]

Maybe? We'd have more than 1 great receiver anyways.
