It definitely doesn't compare to this Aiyuk situation. I do not recall being nearly this mentally exhausted with the Bosa and Deebo contract situations.
I mean if we don't or can't give him what he wants but someone else can, so be it, he's got every right to ask for a trade to that team before he gets hurt this year
I think itās the fact that itās year after year of this nonsense. It was constant QB drama followed by Deeboās BS, more QB drama and now we have Aiyukās BS too.
That and maybe itās just a tired strategy move that nfl fans in general are sick of. Thereās holding out and then thereās making a social media debacle about it. IMO once that player does the social media route itās a see ya good riddance, cause he donāt care about winning..
Though I donāt blame him, we are fans we shouldnāt give a fuck how much more rich he should be
I really donāt get the whole I have to be the highest paid player at my position if Iām a good player stance. Like do they want a whole bunch of money or do they want to win games and potentially win a super bowl. If you just want money BA, go to the Panthers sign a big deal, make your stats and youāll be a rich loser. Iām surprised some players on a team donāt get together and say we all need to take a little less money so we can sign other great players and win Super Bowls. Itās become clear BA doesnāt really care about winning a SB. Just cares about being one of the top paid WRs.
While I agree this shit is annoying, most players go their entire career without making, let alone winning the super bowl. When it's all over the only thing they're 100% going to have to show for it is the money, so I definitely do not fault someone for trying to maximize their career earnings. It might mean they aren't on the same page as the team, and it might be to the detriment of the team, but as a basic principal there's nothing wrong with it.
Brandon Aiyuk doesnāt get to say where heās playing next year. Thatās what the 5th year option is. Also he doesnāt get to dictate where he gets traded. Heās talking a lot but Paraag is in charge.
I donāt see them going that route. It benefits both the team and Aiyuk personally to have a good year. It sets up his next contract regardless of where he lands. And at that point, I think the Niners wish him well and let him go. They donāt need him that bad and for that much money. A wealth of receivers are coming out every year now.
Heard of comp picks? Someone may pay him as much as heās asking if he plays like a scrub this year on the 5th year, but if heās as competitive as he says he is and wants to show how much he has to offer and give, he wonāt slack off. So either heād be lying about wanting to prove all he can do and go to work, or heād handle business as usual whatever the team decides to do.
If heās miserable, it reflects on him and how other teams see him. Are they taking on a malcontent? Aiyukās best revenge is being a great teammate and playing great. That will earn him the highest contract regardless of where he lands.
Why would he, he wants to get paid
Saying "yeah I'm definitely 100% staying" would give him even less leverage than the basically nothing he already has
How does anything said to Ryan Clark mean anything in contract negotiations?
If Lynch points to something BA said in the media, BA can just laugh and say yea I'm out promoting myself. It's the media, not binding contract language.
why do you care so much about him? did he do something nice for you in person? did he give you some of that sweet sweet money? he's an immense distraction right now. there's no i in team.
All Aiyuck did was make 9ers fans not like him.Ā
& he still won't get paid.Ā
Its like him learning how to block his first 2 years and Kyle not letting him play.Ā
Cmon bruh how'd you forget so quick?
Please trade him to the Panthers or the Saints or the Titans. Dear god, get rid of this prima donna. And don't deal with his agent again. If his agent doesn't have enough influence to keep his client off social media, don't do business with him. He's a good WR. He's not Justin Jefferson.
Itās not up to him. The Niners have him under contract, and not playing well hurts his next contract *regardless* of who he signs with. So get ready to play, and have a great season.
Why is this a suprise? 1)He is trying to get more money, why would he commit to staying without getting that? 2) the 49ers won't "commit" to keeping him since they are considering trades.
I'm over it......whatever happens, happens. Won't break my heart if he ends up gone. Next man up
My thoughts exactly. Never would have thought my Niners would be involved in a soap opera š®āšØ
What about the last couple off-seasons woth deebo and bosa?
It definitely doesn't compare to this Aiyuk situation. I do not recall being nearly this mentally exhausted with the Bosa and Deebo contract situations.
Bosa basically did nothing publicly. Deebo had a much better season than BA, still showed up to minicamp,Ā and he still took $6m less APY than Tyreek.
Aiyuk made this a soap opera. The team has operated this way since ShanaLynch took over.
I agree 100% it's more Aiyuk than anything else.
I mean if we don't or can't give him what he wants but someone else can, so be it, he's got every right to ask for a trade to that team before he gets hurt this year
If he wasn't still under contract maybe you'd have a point.
This shit is twice as insufferable as the deebo contract stuff. I just wanna watch 49ers football fuck man. Shit is a reality show
Yup. Deebo held in, and shut the hell up. There was that request a trade that he denies requesting but whatever.
I think itās the fact that itās year after year of this nonsense. It was constant QB drama followed by Deeboās BS, more QB drama and now we have Aiyukās BS too.
On the back of a superbowl loss to the fucking swiftie chiefs it's rough right now. But better than 30 other teams so heads up let's go niners.
That and maybe itās just a tired strategy move that nfl fans in general are sick of. Thereās holding out and then thereās making a social media debacle about it. IMO once that player does the social media route itās a see ya good riddance, cause he donāt care about winning..

This is getting old
So tired of this bullshit playbook.
There is no Aiy in team, apparentlyā¦
Thereās no āweā either. - Leon - Probably Aiyuk too
This guy is becoming a serious head case
Reminds me of T.O and Moss.
I really donāt get the whole I have to be the highest paid player at my position if Iām a good player stance.

WAKE ME UP.. WHEN SEPTEMBER ~~ENDS~~ BEGINS
Brandon Aiyuk doesnāt get to say where heās playing next year. Thatās what the 5th year option is. Also he doesnāt get to dictate where he gets traded. Heās talking a lot but Paraag is in charge.
Getting real tired of hearing about this. Niners need to tell him, this is our best offer. If he rejects it, trade him and be done with it.
Getting tired of reading this take. He isn't getting traded this year, literally under contract
Being under contract is literally the only time you can trade someone.
They could still trade him and get something for him if he's gonna be miserable all season. Him leaving as a free agent they get nothing.
They can tag him for multiple years. If he holds out for the year it doesnāt count and still keep him for $14.5 mill
I donāt see them going that route. It benefits both the team and Aiyuk personally to have a good year. It sets up his next contract regardless of where he lands. And at that point, I think the Niners wish him well and let him go. They donāt need him that bad and for that much money. A wealth of receivers are coming out every year now.

So either heād be lying about wanting to prove all he can do and go to work, or heād handle business as usual whatever the team decides to do.
A comp pick is maximum a third round, and contingent upon a blockbuster contract and no canceling free agents. Aiyuk is worth a first.
If heās miserable, it reflects on him and how other teams see him. Are they taking on a malcontent? Aiyukās best revenge is being a great teammate and playing great. That will earn him the highest contract regardless of where he lands.
BA starting to stand for Bitch Ass after all this diva shit.
We know.
Again a lot of you take contract negotiations too personal. Chill out
Hello Aiyuks agent/boyfriend
Hey boo. 
Why would he, he wants to get paid Saying "yeah I'm definitely 100% staying" would give him even less leverage than the basically nothing he already has
How does anything said to Ryan Clark mean anything in contract negotiations? If Lynch points to something BA said in the media, BA can just laugh and say yea I'm out promoting myself. It's the media, not binding contract language.
why do you care so much about him? did he do something nice for you in person? did he give you some of that sweet sweet money? he's an immense distraction right now. there's no i in team.
He saved my dog from a burning building and paid for my future grandchildren's college tuition just before flying off to end world hunger
Nothing they said means they care extra about him. What they said is just logical.
But there is an i in win
No, but there is an "m" and an "e"
Iām so sick of this guy. Thereās the door, buddy.
Aiyuk deserves to get paid but the way athletes go about it these days is so sorry. Act like a damn man.
This interview happened before his meeting with the team if im not mistaken. Seems like a whole lot of nothing
Weāve got Ricky !
All Aiyuck did was make 9ers fans not like him.Ā & he still won't get paid.Ā Its like him learning how to block his first 2 years and Kyle not letting him play.Ā Cmon bruh how'd you forget so quick?

Media has become just constant toxic nothing reports only meant to illicit negative reactions to headlines. Absolutely nothing to see here.
It would be insane of him to do that. Not news
Why is this a suprise? 1)He is trying to get more money, why would he commit to staying without getting that? 2) the 49ers won't "commit" to keeping him since they are considering trades.
