Sources: The Steelers have a verbal agreement in place with the 49ers for Brandon Aiyuk. All the terms of the deal and contract details are being hammered out now. The WR is coming to Pittsburgh. pic.twitter.com/LdueV9dSNT

Watt, Minkah, Fautanu or Porter Jr. -- I do not want anyone else on that roster

Honestly, was watching Get Up this morning and Tannenbaum brought up an interesting option:
Up Aiyuk's base from 14M to 20-21M for 1yr, and guarantee not to franchise in 2025
This gets Aiyuk his money, saves face for everyone, and gives him the opportunity to play for whoever he wants in 2025. At this point I'd rather have him for this big push for SB return and allows us to have money ready to pay Purdy in 2025.
Chat Sports suggested that too, and it's the dumbest idea ever. There is literally no point in doing that. Aiyuk is UNDER CONTRACT. He can choose to honor it, or sit out and lose money. This idea would be like buying a new car...paying $30,000 over asking price...and promising to never use the warranty.
Right. So Aiyuk makes more money. The Niners get NOTHING when he leaves. And they gain nothing new for 2024 since he is already under contract.
lol

My impression from the reports is that the parties had a deal, but Aiyuk backed out when the other WRs started getting paid more. The 49ers have clearly not responded well to his new posture because the team has not offered more money. I don't think this is a matter of ego or respect, but of precedence and cap planning. I think the team set a number they are willing to pay, and are otherwise fine with him playing out the 5th year option (I think the 5th year option may likely be the 49ers preferred result) to reevaluate its position next year (this assumption that Deebo is gone after the year is overstated). I understand the team feeling swindled by Aiyuk's refusal to follow through with the deal while having little leverage because he's under contract. I also understand Aiyuk wanting as much money as possible. This whole go find a team to do the trade deal is a ploy to get him back to the 49ers either on a new contract or on his 5th year option.The team should only take a trade deal if they 100% get a proper return, otherwise make Aiyuk sit out or play on the 14 mil. Paraag is not emotional and I cannot believe someone with his negotiation experience would let Aiyuk get him on tilt. The team also gave into Bosa because Bosa was worth it - Aiyuk is not. Patience is all that is necessary here.

They are not trading a player they JUST DRAFTED.
No one does that.
