The dead money doesn't really go away though right? I'm not 100% sure on how these void years work with extensions so you may need to explain it.

Lets take Dre for example.
https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/dre-greenlaw-29196/

It's showing a cap hit of 1,864,768 in 2025 and 932,384 in 2026. Those are two void years so he technically could not be on the team and count as dead cap.

To keep things simple, lets say we sign him to a contract extension for 2 yrs 10 million total with equal amounts each year. His cap hit would then be 6,864,768 in 2025 and 5,932,384 in 2026, correct?

You would be correct

so his 14 million 5th year option would count in addition to a contract extension?

IDK but we need to resign him fast before the WR market changes!

Agreed! Don't know why all these deals go into training camp. I would love to know how the deal changes from now til training camp when the deals get done.

I mean if history shows there's not much movement why bother? Of course we'll never know

For whatever reasons Niners always wait until after FA and before TC to sign guys.

I guess they want to attack fa, improving where they can while being financial sound and then they pretty much know the rookie wage scale. So then they know fairly accurately how they can fit in a deal for Aiyuk that works for both sides etc.

Rarely does a team not want to get a deal done as quickly as possible. There's certain times when a player wants to get overpaid and a team won't give in. During that time there's definitely some tampering going on that the team is fine with, agent will sniff around a bit and see if there are any teams that will overpay for their guy. When that doesn't happen a contract gets done.

For example it's not like the Niners didn't want Bosa signed asap last year. Bosa at one point literally stepped him and told his agent to take the deal already (he missed pretty much all offseason, that's not good for the team).

I think the Niners need to do nothing with Ayuk this year if his demands are too high. He can play out his 5th year tender then they can give him the non exclusive franchise tag; let other teams negotiate id the 9ers don't want to match they get two first rounders . The NFL is a business and this was all pre negotiated with the players union . ayuk is a 49er next two seasons so wondering why so much time is being spent talking about this

Nfl is a business and the product of that business is compromised of real life people. If you think you can say "hey eat s**t, play in 5th year tag & suck it up" with no ramifications you are mistaken. The niners org has the overall "advantage" in negotiations, but not every advantage. Taking a hard line stance isn't the best way to go about this.

Can't just give away the farm but need to figure out something both sides can live with

Not necessarily in this case. It benefits us to get the deal done this year since we can save cap space this year, and next year. It won't be until 2026 where we see a significant cap increase from his contract.

Saw his Insta story with him in the Bay Area with a rocket ship emoji 🤔

Calvin Ridley just got 4 years 92 million with 50 guranteed. that's 23 million per

Uh oh... Aiyuk posting emojis?! We better cut him immediately.

We don't use WR's or RB/FB's in the passing game in this run centric offense anyhow.

Just draft another and spend that BA-money on an underperforming, non-closing DL.
