Lynch is botching this.
How are we letting a guy who has zero leverage say the only team he'll go to is the Steelers?
He wont/can't hold out. The Steelers don't match up in a trade……even if it's a 1st rounder you can't do that with how much it hurts us this year.
2nd + 3rd would be AWFUL.
Stop reading tweets.

Their idea of upping the offer is probally like adding a 6th RD pick or something.
Many #49ers players DID NOT make the trip including
— Jennifer Lee Chan - threads @jenniferleechan (@jenniferleechan) August 10, 2024
Brandon Aiyuk
Christian McCaffrey
Fred Warner
Nick Bosa
Ricky Pearsall
Trent Williams remains on DNR - Did not report list and did not make the trip.
Brock Purdy DID travel
I texted a front office executive:

Q: Why do you think the 49ers aren't calling back the Steelers?
A: Probably wait as long as they can…force someone to blink. Sounds like they really don't want to trade. Maybe hoping someone else comes along. The whole thing is very strange.

Yeah. It's "very strange" that the Steelers offered us raw sewage and we're just not taking it. So strange indeed!
This front office executive probably works in Pittsburgh.

Lol it's extremely obvious what the 49ers are doing at this point
which is hoping Aiyuk blinks and accepts our (hopefully recently increased) offer

Aiyuk is wrong. It's not down to two simple options of signing him or trading him to Pittsburgh. The third option, and it's totally in our control, is to do nothing and leave him no option but to play for us at $14m. Sure, he could hold out for a while, and get and cost us maybe only $7m, but then he's still got to come back for crunch time and the playoffs, lest he still owes us that year, at that pay.
Playing him on the 5th year imo is attractive to us. We get him well below talent market. Then we tag him, and still have the option of signing him if attitudes change, or trading him at a time we can actually use high draft picks in the year we lose him. Importantly, it gives us a year to get Ricky and others' up to speed, and gives us a much better feel for what we've got at the time we need to make decisions. You just don't know, Ricky wouldn't have to become Aiyuk's equal to make him a better option given the other people we'd lose with the contract difference. And Aiyuk took two years to become Aiyuk, and that is typical for WR's entering a complex NFL offense.
I'm for taking the cheap year, and going from there.

Originally posted by EastBay:I may be missing something, but they can trade him regardless of his desires. He doesn't have a no trade clause, and he doesn't need to agree to a new contract with another team to compete a trade. I see he can sign with the 9ers, get traded, or hold out from 9ers or team traded too.
