What I thought was interesting is that in an interview with Brock recently, Brock said "I had nothing to do with this." To me, it sounded sort of insecure on Brock's part and that maybe Brock's contract did have an influence on all of this and Brock deep down knows it.
Is it possible the 49ers hardballed Ayiuk because of how much they paid Brock and were able to get back some $$$ from Ayiuk with the silly excuse that Ayiuk missed rehab appointments?
If so, Ayiuk should have fought the void knowing that if he didn't, the 49ers still would just not release him since they can get draft capital for him.
Ayiuk is healed and the same player as before. If Ayiuk can forgive the 49ers and play here next year great. If not, the 49ers have rights to him and they better not trade him unless they get a 2nd or 3rd.
"the silly excuse"? lol
