And this.

They figure they can take the hit this year and roll out Pearsall Jennings Cowing Kittle CMC Mason and with 12 picks find some more receiving talent and in FA and be just fine and get those big contracts off the books IF Brock is what they think he is

This move would teach guys going forward not to F around with this FO

Those guys are better than given credit but with Aiyuk there is a chance of being top 5, moreso in 2026. Furthermore it seems fans who are pro trade are upset like its still July/August 2024. It's like the significant other that gets mad over old stuff or is looking for things to be upset about.

Aiyuk has always been a net positive for this offense, even this year.. We aren't getting better by trading him and as much as I love Brock, he isn't carrying this team without elite play makers. We would be trading Aiyuk and hoping to draft someone as good instead of using our picks to build up our trenches. I hope we fill holes, not create them.

FInally! Someone who gets it. Our 11 or 12 picks can bring us back quickly. I trust this FO to do what's best for team now and going forward.

Honestly my biggest problem with BA is the contract. He's obviously very good but on a team with so many high end players along so many other needs, I just hate paying WR's that kind of dough. I mean, just look at the jaw-dropping list of available WR's this year (and every year for that matter). Unless your name is Jefferson or Chase, I feel that wideouts are becoming like RB's in terms of being easily replaceable.

It sucks for BA, the team and us fans. He left a sour taste then gets hurt and won't be back for the start of the season. Nothing will cure the current sentiment other than BA performing at a level to justify his contract. The man can't do that until he is healthy… this will drag on for a while. Trading him and absorbing another huge cap f**k up is not an option….unless we find a team willing to get fleeced.

Very true. I think those bad feelings are driving a lot of the trade him talk. Sadly this will linger until like 2026 unless Aiyuk not only comes back next season but also looks great in the 8 games or so.

I would take a 3rd rounder for him.

Is it true the niners have an out to only take on an 8 million dead cap hit if he's traded before April 1st? I read that somewhere but I wasn't sure if it was BS or not.

The only way I would want to trade Aiyuk is if we got Davante Adams in FA.

Yes that's the only reason the trade is being talked about.

Also pretty much indicates if we don't trade him by then he's not being moved this year.
