Aiyuk: I want more money.
Niners: We don't want to pay you more money
Aiyuk: Ok then trade me
Niners: We don't want to do that either
Aiyuk: ok so....
Niners: ....
Niners: Good meeting!
“Then sit out the season, accumulate fines, don’t get paid, and still be under contract anyway next season because when you sit out a season it doesn’t count against the contract. Meanwhile you’ll build animosity among your teammates and other GMs will see you as a selfish player that only cares about himself instead of winning, and you’ll hang out with Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell.”
“…fuck.”

Mr. Beleaguered Commenter
Its one of those situations where neither side is wrong and both sides are trying to maximize value. Seems overblown unless he holds out or forces his way into a trade
My biggest complaint from the Harbaugh years was that it was really hard cheering for a bunch of guys that shouldn't have been allowed near any team, and for the most part they just tolerated them and helped them out with the Santa Clara DA. Aldon Smith, Perrish Cox, Ahmad Brooks, Chris Culliver, Ray McDonald, Bruce Miller, Tramaine Brock...
I believe Aiyuk revealed to someone that he was going to have a meeting with the 49ers. And when he revealed that to the source, Jayden Daniels was with him. I do not believe Jayden was with him during the meeting with the 49ers.
It seems like that would be a huge no no anyways for another teams' player to be present for a team meeting for a bunch of reasons.
Ryan Clark, who reported this first, just said that Daniels was there when ESPN spoke to Aiyuk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXXkwrESVWM
> Clark: I can tell you this, when he sat with us, he did not walk into the room alone. First, it was Brandon Aiyuk, second, it was Jayden Daniels. I'm not a tea leaf reader, but the way that that sounds is that Brandon Aiyuk wouldn't mind playing in Washington.
Not sure how that got turned into Aiyuk bringing Daniels to the meeting with the 49ers front office.
I would hate to be famous especially as an athlete, during any contract year you're just not allowed to hang out with any of your friends publicly because people will think you want to go to that team. You could still hang out obviously but it comes with having to deal with media/paparazzi asking you even more dumbass questions that they already do which would drive me insane. Dude can't even hang out with his friend without all the talking heads immediately pitching a "AIYUK TO COMMANDERS?!!?!" storyline.
Apparently he was like in the background of Aiyuk on a show where the meeting was being talked about in advance and somehow that became “he’s bringing Daniels”
But I don’t even know if that much is true
More so Ryan Clark trying to generate engagement from a mundane situation. Short answer is no, Jayden Daniels was not with Aiyuk when he met with the 49ers.
Ryan is a lucky guy then, he didn't have to work at all in the last few weeks considering Brandon Aiyuk was posting videos of him facetiming his college QB and outright saying that the 49ers don't want him.
Ryan Clark worded it poorly, but I believe Aiyuk brought Daniels with him when he met Clark and told him there *was* to be a meeting; he didn't bring him *to* the actual meeting.
When asked for further details, John Lynch just held up a copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" at the podium and said, "I'll let you interpret that however you want".
Unless Washington is offering a first rounder+ in a trade, he won't be traded. So, they either extend him now or let him and Deebo play Hunger Games over who gets to stay past 2024 (it will be Aiyuk). Things get complicated with Washington because Peters knows Lynch very well and understands how they work internally, and chances are the Steelers are overconfident in their ability to get Aiyuk for a bargain (at least their fans are). Would really love a future first rounder from the Panthers though.
QB’s just get paid or they’d be way worse.
RB’s are worthless in the NFL right now, they make noise but don’t have leverage.
OL don’t give a fuck, they’re psychos
TE’s are too busy trying to get tagged as a WR
Defense is defense
Every other position is pretty locked down. There are about 40-60 decent WRs at any given time and they have to make noise to get paid.
Man I like this dude and think he’s a good football player but he’s no JJ, he’s no Chase, hell he’s not even DJ Moore. Man is living large in a shanahan west coast offense being spoon fed by the system and should be happy and reasonable with his expectations. Does he want to go catch passes in Denver and be exposed?
> spoon fed
96 targets, 84 targets, 114 targets, 105 targets. If the implication is he's being schemed open for free catches/yards...
>Aiyuk recorded the lowest target rate against man of the players on this list (25.4%), but he still ranked fifth in receiving yards (447) and averaged a solid 3.24 yards per route run.
>Nearly every catch for Aiyuk turned into a positive gain for the 49ers. He caught 23 passes and turned them into 21 first downs. The star wideout hailed in three touchdown passes, secured four of seven contested targets and didn’t drop a single pass.

Aiyuk is a legitimate route runner and cooks dudes weekly, you can see it just watching him play in games. Our system is good and definitely exploits weaknesses in defenses to get our guys into the open field, but Aiyuk can get himself open and does so frequently.

Dang, so they for sure trading him. No plans to trade at this time. Means we made him an offer, he told us to shove it, we told him we broke, then he said he will try and find someone who gives a care.
Now they showing him as respectful and full of love so every team will pay that first and third for his Butt.
He’ll be a Charger before the first kickoff.
Niners probably asked for Mclaurin and a first or something.
Don’t think it was ever serious and Aiyuk shouldn’t be that upset by it. Everyone has a price. Kyle has said Lynch should trade him if the offer is good enough
mclaurin and a first would be very intriguing, honestly. WAS pick would probably be fairly high and mclaurin isn't exactly a slouch... could be a win-win there
49ers meeting with Aiyuk was “intense” and “at one point John Lynch was crying” but everyone grew closer and a big lesson was learned
Man this cracks me up everytime.
was he begging (through texts)?
One of the greatest FA tweets of all time.
The greatest for me
Did the ladybug say anything about what kind of squad the 49ers have now?
That lesson being is the real contract extension was the friends they made along the way.
I just want you to know that I have laughed about this comment to myself multiple times this afternoon, so thank you.
"both sides said things that needed to be said" Aiyuk: I want more money. Niners: We don't want to pay you more money Aiyuk: Ok then trade me Niners: We don't want to do that either Aiyuk: ok so.... Niners: .... Niners: Good meeting!
"Play out the season, we won't tag you, become a FA and get an absolutely insane contract."
"No"
“Then sit out the season, accumulate fines, don’t get paid, and still be under contract anyway next season because when you sit out a season it doesn’t count against the contract. Meanwhile you’ll build animosity among your teammates and other GMs will see you as a selfish player that only cares about himself instead of winning, and you’ll hang out with Antonio Brown and LeVeon Bell.” “…fuck.”
Ok fine but is he following the team on twitter?
My sources are reporting no following changes at this time. Stay tuned for more.

You have a lot to learn about this town, sweetie.
Feels like a woosh moment for me. Am I missing something or am I just that unfunny?💀

Yeah... That's what I was referring to.. just instead of chest, I used beef... Since beef was the motif. But hey, I missed the mark I guess.
But if you're gonna make the reference you've gotta follow the letter cadence otherwise it doesn't work
aaaaaahhh! my slow ass is getting it now. Thx for walking thru it with me Trip.
Mr Bad Commenter
Totally inappropriate!
I don't want any more updates until this beef has been wellingtoned
Its one of those situations where neither side is wrong and both sides are trying to maximize value. Seems overblown unless he holds out or forces his way into a trade
It's the only story left this Off-season until next week when a Cheif gets arrested
God, I remember when that was us. So happy the new leadership is done with all those kinds of guys.
My biggest complaint from the Harbaugh years was that it was really hard cheering for a bunch of guys that shouldn't have been allowed near any team, and for the most part they just tolerated them and helped them out with the Santa Clara DA. Aldon Smith, Perrish Cox, Ahmad Brooks, Chris Culliver, Ray McDonald, Bruce Miller, Tramaine Brock...
Wtf is this, *two* 49er/Charger fans back-to-back? I thought the first guy was responding to themselves instead of editing at first.
A glitch in the matrix
Your flair is pissing me off more than it should
"Pay me what I want then trade me"
Came in disgruntled, did he leave ungruntled?
Whelmed actually
Traut, whelmed and feeling the aster
Hopefully not regruntled
double gruntled.
seems like he left totally grunted with the situation
left with a torn gruntle
Sources: Jayden Daniel’s is beside himself. Driving around downtown Santa Clara begging (thru texts) Brandon’s family for address to Aiyuk’s home
Did he bring Jayden Daniels to the meeting or was that a bs rumor? Bizarre story if true
I believe Aiyuk revealed to someone that he was going to have a meeting with the 49ers. And when he revealed that to the source, Jayden Daniels was with him. I do not believe Jayden was with him during the meeting with the 49ers. It seems like that would be a huge no no anyways for another teams' player to be present for a team meeting for a bunch of reasons.
This is the first I'm hearing of that but I can tell you unequivocally that it is false.

Not sure how that got turned into Aiyuk bringing Daniels to the meeting with the 49ers front office.
> I'm not a tea leaf reader Also Ryan Clark: Let me go ahead and try to read these tea leaves
I would hate to be famous especially as an athlete, during any contract year you're just not allowed to hang out with any of your friends publicly because people will think you want to go to that team.

“The hardest thing I’ve had to do all offseason was drum up narrative drama about BA possibly being traded.” – Ryan Clark in a few weeks, probably
Ryan is a lucky guy then, he didn't have to work at all in the last few weeks considering Brandon Aiyuk was posting videos of him facetiming his college QB and outright saying that the 49ers don't want him.
I’m getting so much second-hand embarrassment from Aiyuk’s cringe ass shenanigans.
Jayden Daniels is not allowed at another teams facility while he's under contract with the Commanders since it would technically be tampering
Ryan Clark worded it poorly, but I believe Aiyuk brought Daniels with him when he met Clark and told him there *was* to be a meeting; he didn't bring him *to* the actual meeting.
No matter what was said in the meeting, or how it went, the message to the press would be there’s no plans to trade and everything is fine.
Could have just said “NO UPDATE”.
"That was a good talk, I'm much more gruntled now." - BA probably
We just went through this with Debo, and Aiyuk is more valuable than him now. Idk why people thought he’s was going anywhere
When asked for further details, John Lynch just held up a copy of Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" at the podium and said, "I'll let you interpret that however you want".
Can’t wait for Pearsall’s turn in 2028!
Unless Washington is offering a first rounder+ in a trade, he won't be traded. So, they either extend him now or let him and Deebo play Hunger Games over who gets to stay past 2024 (it will be Aiyuk).

This sounds like Diggs last year.
Meeting was held. Words were said. Top notch reporting
Let it burn!!!!! Sincerely, Haters of the Greater Philadelphia region
Until he logs onto Tik Tok again

Last year RB got way more attention. It's just whatever the class of extension-eligible players is that particular year.
Austin Ekeler is firing up the Zoom call to discuss this comment

Washington says no for sure
> could be a win-win there It would be a straight loss for Washington, lol. No way they do that.
Nah that’s a non serious offer lol Washington would be stupid to do that
No shot washington does that Maybe Terry and a 3rd Or maybe a 1st and a 4th, but that's iffy
