Brandon Aiyuk is a Quitter! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

I never understood the negotiation tactic of requesting a trade. You are basically telling the fanbase that you don't want to be here. So how do you expect them to treat you if you do re-sign? Fans don't want to embrace somebody who made it clear he is only here because of the money. Deebo lost alot of fans after that stunt and he was never able to fully get them back. And you will see the same with BA. Atleast with Bosa and to a lesser degree, Trent, CMC, and Kittle, Even though they were after getting paid what they felt they deserved they never said they wanted to go elsewhere.

With Deebo and now BA the fans know they didn't want to be here. And so when they struggle for whatever reason they are not going to get the benefit of doubt from the fans that others may get.

Again, it was well reported that Kyle essentially forced that extension when the team was prepared to trade him. Aiyuk didn't produce, blew his knee up, Kyle lost some power, and the team shopped him this offseason to no avail.

This isn't really a hard situation to read*. We wanted out of a contract that some of the biggest people in our organization didn't want in the first place and has only been a disaster since. Aiyuk can figure that out if our fans can't

Blah blah blah.

f**king gibberish.

I'm curious what the unedited version of this post was, lol.

This is the best case scenario, if he shows up to form come playoffs his antics will be forgiven. As of now I'd like him to show it rather than create passive aggressive drama The irony of him telling whoever it is to stfu

He needs to dial in and show he is worth that contract and is still a pro bowler before he starts pointing at doubters. Prove it Ayuik! You're in perfect position to prove everyone wrong! Yet he keeps making it cryptic past.

While the 9ers have dragged negotiations into training camp they've been at least professional about it. Not mad at BA holding out but he needs to be more professional or in your words "stop being an emotional baby". It's been a year and he's still posting cryptic passive aggressive comments. The only two players that gone as far to request a trade that I can think of is Ayuik and Deebo 🤔

Can you show me where the 9ers leaked that info?

Nothing he posted was cryptic? Maybe you can explain him on the phone with Jayden Daniels saying "They don't want me back" or him saying "They want to play cool now, fxck that I want that smoke still" ? Or him flexing money then saying stfu on the next instagram post?

See this is where fans need to separate business from football.

it's literally one of the only things they can do leverage wise to move the needle in negotiations.

It has zero to do with not wanting to be here and everything to do with getting paid what they think they're worth. Do fans in Baltimore hate Lamar?

If these guys truly didn't want to be here, they would have never signed those deals. They have a short window to make as much money as possible. Why are fans gonna treat them like s**t because they're trying to do whatever it takes to get paid as much as possible? If it doesn't work out, then someone else will pay them (see Buckner). I recommend watching the Pabolo Torre YouTube report that just came out on how slimy owners and the NFL has been with contracts (tons of collision)

I get it fans are fickle and think it's all about them and players owe them something…Imo I can separate the business side from the football side. NOW if you or anyone else just thinks he isn't worth the cash and isn't a good WR, that's a different convo.

TK on his pod with Matt Barrows have discussed it multiple times. Go read/listen to them talk about it…TK has specifically said he's heard from people in the FO that have told him this…that my friend is leaking to the media.

They (SF) ghosted him for months at the beginning of negotiations. That was reported. So yeah one would interpret that they didn't want him back.

he said STFU after he posted a pic of TO. People interpret s**t the way they feel about a topic, not looking at it for what it probably is…if you got a problem with BA, you will feel "attacked" or something is directed at you regardless if that's what the post or whatever is meant for.

imo it's pretty clear what he's been b***hing about this off season. I've made my point on that a couple times, but like I said you want to interpret it the way you want to fit the narrative

We get it, fans are all babies and BA is the mature one.

He does have a right and so do fans. The thing is he doesnt have to listen. Not to mention......make up your f**king mind., do you to be here or not.

Do you really think he is the only one. I am sure Brock s getting lots of burn for his contract along with being constantly told he jsnt good enough and actually handled his contract with class and without sublminal none sense. See how it'sdone. How much traffic on the wbz forum.is there about Purdy acting like a jackass.

Never said BA was in the right either (and I stated that). Quit being so dramatic.

If he didn't want to be here, he would have never resigned. Why can't you grasp that? He wanted to be paid what his worth was and play for the team that drafted him.

Good for Brock, not every single person handles s**t like that. Not every single person comes from that same situation. You think fans in Baltimore hate Lamar Jackson? Demanded a trade all the same. Should bengal fans hate Trey Henderson and tee higgins?

I'll bet money if Brock was getting ghosted for months and negotiations were going nowhere he would have either played out his deal or requested to be moved all the same. Good on the FO for finally getting s**t done properly!

There's traffic here mainly because people are overreacting to not much and forming up narratives because they got some petty vendetta. Who gives a s**t if he made a comment on YouTube? My god how sensitive is everyone in all this?

What are we at, day 30 of someone telling other people not to be in their feels, when their posts show them up in their feels.
Lmao

Who's up in their feelings?

It's not about money for players most of the time, it's about respect and the money is the obvious measure of respect. $20M vs $21M isn't going to change your life this year, but being paid more than 7 other guys who you see yourself as better than really matters to pro athletes.

Aiyuk should probably get off-line because fans are collectively stupid and he's taking it personal.

I'm with you on that, he's got to show it.

Yet, being out of the game, like being stuck at home during Covid, can bring out the crazy. I'm hoping as he invests himself in getting back to form, like he has in the past, he'll rejoice in hitting his stride and he'll slough off the crazy and play his game.

When he is focused, he can catch anything----no matter who's all up in his business. Brock and Co. can use what he brings as Brock is running around back there like a chicken with his head cut off.

I think objectively this team and Brock are much better with BA on this team.

That's true as long as his attitude is right and his knee is okay once he returns to action. Eventually he should be okay but it may take most of the season before he's comfortable again. We know he's going to miss the first 4 games on the PUP.
