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

Not really nothing, it helps make the future signings easier

No it wouldn't! It would just encourage more players to act this way, knowing how the team caved.

Feels like we are going to get screwed on this Trade like we did with TO.

always gonna get screwed in a forced trade scenario

Yeah, but technically they're weren't forced. He's under contract. For whatever that's worth….apparently not much

teams generally don't keep players that don't want to be there. B.A forced the trade by saying trade me as well as by saying I want what i'm worth, not what your willing to give me.

I can't blame Aiyuk if that's his position. You should be paid for what you are worth. But as an employee you are paid for what the positon is worth, not *your* worth. Unfortunately for the 49ers the WR market exploded on them. Not their fault. I still think there is a chance to retain Aiyuk, but it's clear he wants more money and my optimism is really low now on keeping him - considering the current WR market. I still have hope though.

The market determines the players worth, but we are dealing with humans not computers so it is what it is. I do blame the 49ers for not knowing what was coming, the NFL is a business not a guessing game. We supposedly over paid Kap & Jimmy G because we knew the QB market would explode and those deals would look like steals, so we can't now turn around and say they didn't know. WE reset the RB market by extending CMC, so our front office are not victims here.

Now I wonder what this means for Trent? Without him we are just a regular team.

Yeah. Keeping Aiyuk would be a definite distraction to a team doing a super bowl run. Once an employee doesn't want to work for you, you lose more than you gain in any trade situation. Sucks, but KC lost Hill and still managed to win one. We'll see what happens here, but the season will go on.

He's lived in the snow, I don't think he cares much about doing it again since he has done it already.

He's from Reno, but as someone who currently lives in Reno and has lived in the mid-west, the winters in the mid-west are a lot different. They're much, much colder.
