I'm not saying the 9ers should have done the same with Aiyuk... but I feel teams looking for his services will probably put in stipulations that if he leaves the team or some other weird s**t, they can get out of the contract. So although some might not feel so, he might still get paid paid. With that protection, and maybe other incentives.
No one's gonna pay him. His next contract will be a 1 year prove it deal

Someone will take a shot with BA but I'd be shocked if it's not a 1 year prove it deal. He still needs to prove he's the same after the injury. Dude could've rehabbed like he should have and made it back this year to prove he still has it all while getting his money. Then he could've requested a trade in the off-season if he is this upset with the organization. Would have been a win win for everyone involved. The more I think about it the worse it looks on BA.
DK is a menace on the field but that's where it ends with him. He's not a dumbass like BA.
Some keep thinking this, but why would a team give him a 1 year prove it deal... if that gives him the option to leave to another team (after proving himself)?
Imo... it would be more than a 1 year deal, with the option to get out of it early if something happens. So yeah he is still going to get paid paid, if he keeps his head straight through the contract.
I can't see anyone giving Aiyuk more than a 1yr prove it deal, he hasn't played in almost 2yrs now by the time 2026 comes, and after what he's done, I wouldn't give him more than a 1yr deal, no way I give him anything significant GTD, he hasn't shown or earned it, he's immature, he obviously doesn't give 2 s**ts about his teammates or else he would have shown up & rehabbed with the 49ers, I'm just so over it, just cut his ass, be done with it, and if someone is willing to get him a multi year deal then that's on them, cause they're likely to get burned, but no way he gets anything significant.
