This is one part of the whole thing that is the 49ers' fault, ... specifically Kyle's fault. They should have let the trade to Pittsburgh go through.

Or they should have said F it, and traded BA to Cleveland or New England instead, if possible, without BA's input.

Kyle trusted his relationship with Aiyuk would allow for things to move forward more positively after he got him to sign the extension. He had no reason to think otherwise - every other player up to that point that had a tough contract negotiation had resumed being part of the team and a solid contributor. It's hard to blame Kyle for this situation as it's rather unprecedented. No one expects someone to completely stop a relationship cold turkey after five years. You could tell Kyle was taken aback by the ghosting last year on a personal level, IMO. Compare that to Deebo, who sat down and talked through his desire for a trade after the 2024 season.

Now, if Kyle let's a similar situation burn him again shame on him. IMO that's a big part of why they pretty much didn't even try to retain Jennings.

BA is mocking the 49ers for being "stupid" for investing in him?

I mean, I agree, that investment was really stupid, especially after the attitude BA displayed. But, for BA to mock them for believing in him enough to invest that kind of money is a whole different level of stupid.

This B.A situation is likely going to lead to new rules, he is admitting that he stole $50 million from the team.

At this point he owes no money and can simply go to another team while pocketing that money, doubt the owners will like this option for players moving forward.

Clown posting a video of himself committing a crime on the interwebs should not be calling anyone "stupid"

What this little 85 IQ piece of s**t doesn't realize is that no player is bigger than the league. Keep making videos mocking an NFL ownership for paying him $50 million dollars. He's on the fast track to being blastlisted from the league.

Keep pumping out those videos, r****d.

He's already out of the league. He just doesn't want to believe it. That Deebo, Ayuk, and Jauan receiver room was really immature and thought too highly of themselves.

When in possession of a somewhat valuable player the 49ers just need to be better at identifying who and when to keep someone, and who to trade at the right time for maximum return trade value. ... They waited on Deebo and BA and got peanuts (less than that, really) or got burned badly.

This guy arrested yet?

Arrested development

BA really does have a mindset of a 10 year old. Calling the 49ers stupid for believing in him and signing him is next level stupidity. And exactly who is his audience in these clips? Is it a bunch of teens who think its cool to walk around flexing money and calling others stupid?

Dude really needs someone in his inner circle that has finished high school and has grown up a little.

Except he didn't steal $50 million from the team. He got paid that money over two years, and was injured for the vast majority of it. There are already rules in place for what he did wrong and the 49ers have operated accordingly.

i remember when this thread had a vibe of 'leave BA alone the fans are the ones who are wrong'

That's hindsight.

Everyone wanted the player he was in 24 but something changed during his holdout and he never came close to the prior level prior to injury.

I go back to the video he put up immediately after the SB loss in which he made it clear he had no special affinity for the 49ers. He wanted a big bag and didn't care where it came from. Now, while that may have been fueled by emotions after the loss but, still, it was a window into his thinking and character. Everyone was sour after the loss but no one else went public with that vibe.

Welcome back haven't seen your posts in a minute. There were a few of us that didn't like BAs attitude before he signed and weren't surprised when he acted like a spoiled b***h.

Right. What message did he think he was sending to the next team? You're the idiots if you pay me?
