I'm not trading Aiyuk for pennies on the dollar. You had the tough negotiations last offseason that hurt us and he's signed. You paid him for a reason.

He's easily our best WR in years and even when rusty he was key to helping our offense. Guys come back from injuries all the time. He's only 26 years old with modern science and rehab methods.

You don't leave the team devoid of talent when this WR class isn't even very good. Would be a super reactionary and bad move to trade him.

I still think he could be traded if the draft comp was fair.

Last year showed our offense works without him and with Deebo being a shell of himself.

Our offense was far from good last year. Look at how it worked with him before and then after Aiyuk got hurt. Big drop in production from the passing offense.

If you pay him trading him now would be gross mismanagement.

We were a top 5 offensive team as far as moving the ball we were absolutely putrid at finishing drives. Top 5 team isn't far from good.

I mean scoring is important isn't it? And like I said go look at the production with Aiyuk on the field and then without. Or check Brock's numbers without Aiyuk out there.

He is very important to the offense. We can't always get teams playing zone most of the time like the Bears did or having a beat up defense like the Lions to feast on.

We were a top 5 passing team without Aiyuk. I don't consider Aiyuk a red zone threat who improves our red zone efficiency. I may be wrong but it's clear this team can move the ball without Aiyuk. Getting a better OLine will improve the red zone efficiency more than getting Aiyuk back. CMC of course will get us back to being a top red zone team as well.

If we can't put up points without BA then BP shouldn't be getting top 5 money. Remind me who (outside of the rental of moss) Brady was throwing to again? We would still have Kittle, CMC, a 1000 yard Jennings, a 1st round WR in pearsal out there.

BA brought these discussions on himself by going public in a holdout and then showing up and s**tting the bed with 0 tds and less than 50 yds a game. If they can get a 2nd or 3rd for him I'd send him away in a heartbeat. Beef up the lines and see what we can do.

He is important but he is also overrated. I would dump him for a second and a 4th. We need to get younger and bring in players that want to be here.

I mean if you could get a 2nd and a 4th that may change my mind but I think it's more likely with his contract and injury it would be just a 4th…which is why I wouldn't make that deal.
Trading BA now would be selling way too low. At his best he is a #1 receiver. Getting a 3rd or 4th for him, despite his contract & injury, isn't ideal imo.

Then they won't trade him.

They're not dumping him for anything. Only for great comp. And that won't happen. This isn't a thing
I'd move him if we could get a 3. Love Aiyuk but coming off a major injury if someone would take his contract I'd be down. We needed to recalibrate the offense for a while anyway. I like getting younger, faster, cheaper.

We'd have work to do at WR but I wouldn't be against the savings

FWIW he's still 26.

There are about 5 receivers other than McMillan that could fill his or Deebos' spot. Several are bigger and a little faster so they could be better targets in th red zone.

They might have concerns if he can ever be the same after that gruesome knee injury. They're not alone.

He wasn't that fast before the injury and he may not be able to run his routes as precisely now. It appears he may start the season on the injured list so they could be without him for the first 1/4 of the season. Then he has to get back into actual game condition. We saw how that went last year when he held out.

No way. Accepting that deal would make you an accomplice to grand theft.

Supposedly that's a better deal than they'd have gotten for him last year I'd jump on it.
