Brandon Aiyuk is a Quitter! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

I legit think he doesn't grasp how clauses in contracts work.

I said the money side of things isn't their department, which I was talking in terms of specifics of contract details. They obviously have a say in terms of what players we try to sign/re-sign. It doesn't sound like they had a say (or at least not the final one) when it came to the decision to void Aiyuk's guarantees.

Gotcha; agree on specifics of contract details. But who and what to spend the money on, planning for current and future cap hits (and staying within it) etc etc; isn't just Paraag. Kyle and John are 100% involved and all of that qualifies as "money stuff or money side of things."

For Aiyuk; yeah maybe they didn't have the final say when it came to voiding the guarantees, that might've been Jed and Paraag, since it seemed like Kyle let emotion or whatever you want to call it, get the best of him on giving him the contract in the first place. But to say that they didn't have a say at all would be a huge stretch IMO; I'd bet my house that there were discussions with Jed or Paraag or both at the very least.

He's saying the whole contract should be voided along with his bonuses and guarantees. I'd be so down for that just drop the entire contract without any cap hit repercussions. Doubt that's how it works though

I think your post is completely reasonable, but I would point out a couple of things (provided it's an accurate description of the situation):

- I would prefer the football people having final say in football ops, along with all attached accountability for their decisions. I think this is worth keeping an eye on, especially if/when we have adversity in the near future.

- Among the 49ers management/executive group, I'm not sure Kyle was the one acting emotionally. I think his action can easily be explained as prioritizing football over a hard financial stance on a player. To me, that leak right after Aiyuk's extension was announced was pretty charged and poorly thought out…

This guy is such a scumbag, he will never get a chip, f this dude

this guy is insane

We've said it before but I don't understand why he doesn't just get reinstated and show up. The 49ers would cut him.

I have to admit, this is mildly entertaining during the boring days of early training camp.

He's dumb. There's no other reason.

He really doesn't understand contracts. Don't violate the terms, and there would never be any problems.

Dang BA maybe if you would have listened to your agent instead of firing him because he probably told you something you didn't want to hear and your ego can't handle that, you'd know how contracts work.

Being dumb and a brat is not a good combination.

Things BA could have done that would have prevented this:

• Show up for rehab with the team. The easiest thing he could have done. It's mind-blowing he didn't do this
• Not fire his agent
• Ask the NFLPA to appeal the void while it could
• Answer the door when Lynch came over. Instead he acted like a coward. Might could have had a productive conversation that would have led to an eventual release or resolution
• Paid some attention in school

The guy that was running his fan page said he shut down the page because Aiyuk made a "money grab". Now they being said when you do a money grab and refuse to play when you're being paid then you can't say a damn thing when you've stolen $50 for 25 catches

He is getting what he deserves right now. We hold onto him and enjoy that accordion math built into his extension UNLESS he grows a pair of balls and comes back reports faces the police then comes into the office to get his physical at which point we cut him

He's on the left squad / reserve list so he needs to file for reinstatement and return to the squad and if he does I'm almost 100 percent sure we'd cut him immediately

BA has already said he ain't filing for reinstatement nor is he gonna return to the squad so he's trying to force us to release his rights somehow but I'm not sure we can do anything as he has left the squad and hasn't filed for reinstatement and even if he did we should make him come all the way out here and face his arrest warrant AND report to John Lynch for reinstatement!

Hell no. Marcus Allen is sorry ass as long as possible
