I think Niners keep him benched and ship him off to Pittsburgh right before next weekend. That way he pays hefty fines for skipping and we get rid of a cancer of this team.
good riddance

What's the benefit of trading him now? Keep him, tag and trade later. Will get the same compensation

Will be a fun case study once it's all said and done. I tend to believe he is now hurting his value. I don't think there's any chance in hell the niners up their offer. I also don't think we trade him. So, potential fines in addition to an assumed slump in performance once he returns, negatively impacting future value…until he gets his feet under him. If the niners were going to blink, they would have already.
zero benefit sitting out. Perhaps not fair for BA… something they'll want to address on the next collective bargaining agreement.
he may have held some leverage at one point. He holds no leverage now, and I starting to hurt his value. f**king dumb agent he's got
I don't see how this is a good thing for us though.

How do we get the same or better compensation (assuming he doesn't have a monster year)?

I'm not s**tting on any reporter. Sometimes they're right or wrong, and sometimes when they're wrong it's not necessarily their fault. They are reporting what they heard from someone they trust.
In your scenario, you are saying the 49ers made aiyuk an offer in may and then literally ghosted him and his agent, presumably (?) for months.
This means you believe they made an offer, the agent contacted them to discuss said offer, and 49ers management ( INCLUDING THE GM WHO THE AGENT ALSO REPRESENTS) literally ignored the agent/would not take his call/would not respond.
This sounds.... incredibly unlikely. I don't care if Ian rappaport or schefter or pretty Rickey are reporting it. It makes zero common sense to me.
Anyhow, our opinions on it don't mean much. I'll just be glad when it's over

Yeah I don't either. I don't think "we" are the ones holding this up. We are attempting to pay him what we consider fair value while also considering our cap and how it impacts the rest of the roster.
maybe we are way low on our offer though…certainly could be the case.

I'm just saying if we hold him and he underperforms, not only does it hurt us this season but we lose out on potential trade value now. It's lose- lose.
I'm perfectly fine with us sticking to whatever number we're comfortable with.

The #49ers are not trading star WR Brandon Aiyuk — he's staying in SF with a massive extension, per me and @MikeGarafolo.
Aiyuk is getting a front-loaded 4-year deal worth $120M — done by @RyanWilliamsA1 of @AthletesFirst. And yes, Aiyuk will now practice. pic.twitter.com/2LreDyUDoH
