Umm...how about NO?

There are 31 other teams in the NFL. Any of them who want to be associated with a psycho like Brandon Aiyuk can have him.

Cut Aiyuk loose. Flush that dude.

I know were desperate, but this man was acting crazy and hasn't play good football in so long. The desperation of our situation makes it tempting, but im guessing he is getting cut or traded ASAP. Unless he has a miraculous clear mind and bites the bullet and kisses ass and apologizes to everyone in that building.

Whatever option is cheaper is the direction the Niners are gonna go. It's really that simple.

You cant cut Aiyuk and let him go play for a contender. That just cant happen. The 49ers need a receiver. If he acts right he plays if he is disruptive you suspend him. No way am I letting him go to the Rams,Seahawks Chiefs,Bills,etc. That would be pure stupidity.

If he is ready to play there is no way the Niners just cut him. Their worst nightmare would be he ends up on the hawks, chiefs, or bears and then that team goes to the Super Bowl. Regardless of all the hate here for BA, he's still a helluva receiver. If he can play the Niners need to seriously consider keeping him. Kyle's gonna need to suck it up.

Id personally send him to Cleveland and rot over there

Any definitive answer on how much each of the options are?

Would love to have little/no cap hit or dead money, but guessing it's going to cost $$$$

I would even eat a lot of his salary if we can make sure he goes to a terrible team.

🤡 show at the facilities on Friday.

Well I'm not sure we can just cut him. If he shows up he has to be reinstated and we have to pay him.

We are already 30+ mil over the cap next year so can we take on another $20 mil next year pushing us to $50 mil over?

Cap Impact Breakdown

Pre-June 1 Cut: Results in a massive single-year dead money charge of around $29.585 million to $30 million, costing the team roughly $16.6 million in additional 2026 cap room if cut outright.
Post-June 1 Designation: Splits the financial burden across two seasons—roughly $13.3 million (or $13.325 million) in dead cap for 2026 and the remaining balance (around $16.3 million to $21.2 million) pushed into 2027,

Could be.

Could also be rusty, out of shape, still lingering from injury, and a total Basket Case

No way of knowing

So can we theoretically trade him by next Tuesday then? Or no?

I'd say the chances are less than 0. lol BA would for sure try to sabotage the team if they put him out there.lmao
