Well I guess everyone now knows why his practice window hasn't been opened. I hope the front office and Shanahan have learned from this debacle. Ayuik is one year wonder at this point and is the biggest baby quitter ever. Eat the dead money and dump this cancer. Let him destroy some other teams Wr room.

Really can't believe he quit on this franchise. He was a crucial part to so many key moments of big games. IMO he just played to get a big payday and that's all he cared about. You would never see guys like Fitzgerald, Bolden, Rice, John Taylor, etc, etc, do this. I honestly think that he doesn't care about football anymore.

Maybe not KC now. It looks like they might need a QB for next season

Such a little piece of s**t. I hope he never makes the same kind of money he pissed away here.

I'm not. That's money we can use elsewhere on some impact player/s. It's actually a pretty huge debacle. We've done some great things with this regime despite some huge mistakes not to take away from the great decisions also.

I don't think we were going to be big spenders even if we had Aiyuk's money. It was well reported we wanted to pull back on cash spending and were transitioning the roster. I think this is a big reason this situation happened in the first place.

The 9ers showed who they were when they CHOSE to leak contract details during negotiations. They broke the trust first. Aiyuk returned the favor and played the media game as well. We shouldn't be homers about this. Our front office took too long trying to sign him, and the $$$ went up because of other WRs getting signed to big deals. If you feel you missed out on a good or fair deal, by your own fault, then you move on and don't get desperate and pay way more than you were going to be happy about and not buyers remorse.

The moment they took too long to sign him...and $$$ was too high because of other WR deals.. the 9ers should have traded him, even if it meant it was to a team giving us less.

Well I agree mostly with this but I think Kyle intervened in the eleventh hour.

By the way I thought that second guy coming in hitting BA low was cheap. It appeared to me to be a high low combo job without regard for player safety on a guy that had already been stopped

1) giving up a king's ransom for Trey Lance
2) overpaying for an uncommitted Brandon Aiyuk
3) drafting Solomon Thomas # 3 over [fill in the blank]

"huge" in an understatement when it comes to Kyle/Lynch boneheaded decisions…

We broke the curse of not being able to get a pro-bowl WR with Deebo, then struck again with BA, and now both their time here is over. I can't imagine BA ever playing for us again.

I don't think his contract was a wise investment anyway, because as good as he was, this team doesn't utilize WRs enough to make it worth 30 mil.

Every NFL team has a list like this. A list of regrets and moves and busts.

This isnt really a thing.

Agree here, especially when you factor in all the other money that was dedicated to skill players on offense.

That said, this situation still reeks.
