Take away the outlier (which by the way, was his most recent regular season game so it's pretty significant and shouldn't just be dismissed entirely) and he still had 71 YPG which is 1,200+ for a full season.

The Browns also had a merry-go-round at the QB position.

I really don't think Cooper would be a bad return at all. Sure I would prefer a 2nd or Jack Conklin to go with him but Cooper is a reasonable centerpiece to an Aiyuk trade, especially if Aiyuk makes $30M+ a year and we only have to pay Cooper a very small amount.

Conklin is pretty broken down at this point. Not sure he'd be a plus in any trade.

I really would've liked to have resigned him. Unfortunately, now it doesn't look like it. There's so much to these things that we have no clue about. You have to remember that the first two years he was in the doghouse. Look at how he has behaved this off-season. I also remember the chiefs secondary coach discussing how he played in the Super Bowl and him saying the only thing #11 did all Super Bowl was try to fight.

there is probably so much behind-the-scenes with him. The 49ers just aren't willing to pay him what he wants because of the immaturity he probably has.

this does remind me of deforest Buckner in that we may regret this one day and wish we paid him.

I think Buckner regrets it more. We have continued to win, had another Super Bowl appearance. The only 49ers regret should be in picking Kinlaw.

I am on ream keep Aiyuk, due to his star rising, not even in his prime, and his health. He can contribute 5- 6 years from now. But I do wonder if he can shoulder being the focal point of an offense. That part remains to be seen.

Why a one year rental. Makes zero sense. And if they could afford a Cooper contract next year they could afford BA this year.

It's a one pick or blow off is the message.

Because a one-year rental does way more to help us this year than a 2025 pick does?

I don't like either trade. But I get having Cooper or Bourne would soften the WR drop off for this season.

The thought of getting something like Bourne and a 2nd makes me sick. I'd literally rather just have Aiyuk all year on the sideline. Lol

bourne is coming off an ACL tear and probably wouldn't even make this team in a normal situation.

Let's face it team, anyone we get in a trade will be a significant down grade on Brandon Aiyuk.
