You know, at this point, AIyuk needs to cut a deal with youtube or instagram and start his own daytime drama. I mean he already is playing a part, real or imagined, so why not make some money on the side? He could call it the Side Hustler with Brandon Aiyuk.

LMAO

Hence why I maintain that what we're watching from this young man is a clear mental break. I know many here don't like when I say that, but it's true. I'm not trying to excuse his behavior, just trying to explain it. Normal thinking human beings don't act in this fashion. We're hardwired for self-preservation. When we're acting in ways that clearly go against our own self-preservation a mental break has occurred somehow, somewhere in the head.

At this point, I think this young man is far past crash-out. He's in full mental crisis, and somebody close to him need to get their hands on him, real soon.

yeah he's mentally unwell, and i guarantee you knowing the quality of our men in the locker room we have gone above and beyond to get him the help he needs, and i'm sure he has family and friend concerned but at the end of the day you simply cannot help someone who is unwilling

the reality is we see the aldon situation and this is different but similar, just a guy out of his dang mind, what a shame

Cannot disagreed with you there. And for all we know people close to him just may be attempting to talk sense into him. But if that's the case it just proves my point. If people close to him are attempting to logically reach him (like I'm positive they have), and he's still operating like this, then something indeed has broken in him mentally.

At the end of the day, it's Bradon and his family that'll have pay the piper on this. It's just sad because this young man has a wife and child that depend on him fanatically. So "selfish" and "immature" can't explain this behavior.
Chicago needs to learn some people are just a*****es

he has had a lot of teammates and coaches over the years and I haven't seen someone close to him say they are worried and this is unusual for BA

BA received a lot of money and now he thinks he's untouchable

This take completely makes no sense at all. Him being an a$$hole don't explain behavior. If teammates and people close to him are worried about him (like I'm sure they are) what on earth makes you think they'll go public with their concerns unless he does something really drastic? And on what basis do you conclude that he thinks he's "untouchable"? But lets say you're right in that conclusion: given everything that's transpired since this saga began, wouldn't that belief be evidence of someone who's seriously out of touch with reality and in poor mental health?

I can think of several mental illness in which clinical delusions is a prominent symptom. Brandon could be in a manic phase of bipolar. I've seen this up close and personal in my own family. It looked just like this. By the time my family member finally got the help he needed he'd already lost his wife and kids, his career, his money (he wasn't rich), many friends, and damn-near went to prison.
He could just be dumb when it comes to business. I've known a decent amount of smart people who were rather pedestrian in other areas outside their interests, or outside their strengths.

It's hard to draw conclusions without seeing him follow through on what he's saying now (never applying for reinstatement).

As it stands now, we know he burned his guarantees for next year, but also know the team made that decision and Aiyuk doesn't want to be here. Is sacrificing money to get out of his current position the best financial decision? No. But it doesn't mean he's financially inept necessarily.
has Afrikan posted in here lately?? Would be amusing to hear him spin up a new defense of BA
Clear to me Aiyuk not only pist off Lynch and Kyle, but most importantly the Yorks, who paid out that bag of money and getting no show, s**t on in return. Been Aiyuk vs the Yorks for awhile now.

Can someone explain what happens if he doesn't apply for reinstatement like it says in the post? They won't have to cut him and take the $26 million cap hit. Am I right? At what point do they go after that bonus money already paid? If they get that bonus money does the cap space get reinstated? Never mind the psycho stuff. If the subject is politics just turn on the news-too depressing.

If he never files for reinstatement the 49ers will be able to recoup his prorated bonus amounts in each year for the remaining 3 years of his contract. If/when they successfully recover the cash, it would be applied as a credit to the cap.

If they never successfully recover the cash, they will still get to spread out his cap hits as they are currently applied over the life of his contract, and not take a large dead cap hit over this year and next.

Facts! That's why the organization hasn't let him go. They have every financial incentive to hold onto him to start recovering the bonus money, which they'll most certainly get. The fact that he won't file for reinstatement makes this very easy for the organization. If he would have showed up to camp he would have been released.

It was Paraag (and Jed) that voided his guarantees. Kyle confirmed this indirectly.

Kyle pissed off Paraag/Jed by overstepping during Aiyuk's contract negotiation. This is what 49ers fans should be paying attention to IMO… our unusual front office structure and the roster power afforded to people who are effectively unaccountable (Paraag).

I think it's safe to say that Shanny's days of meddling in contact situations are long gone, or at will be seriously curtailed. The FO wanted to trade Aiyuk. Shanny demanded that he gets re-signed.

The behavior and everything else with BA changed when his bank account grew.. which also grew his head

I didn't invent the term Money changes people

I just don't think it's as simple as a "money changed him" situation. If you think about it, it makes no logical sense. If that were the case we'd see this behavior more often throughout all professional sports, at least NFL, NBA, and MLB. You're right though; something did change. We can only speculate just what it was. But the "money changed him" angle is nothing but fodder for the "rich" and "entitled" narrative that explains absolutely nothing.
