Brandon Aiyuk is a Quitter! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

I am in the same boat as most of you. Tired of hearing about it.

ultimately it appears niners have basically called him at this point. If you want to do to the Steelers here's your chance. We have a deal just need your ok. If he really truly wanted to go it would have been an immediate Piece Out by yuk. But no we're sitting here waiting.

so either A he didn't expect this and is second guessing this of B he will accept trade due to taking all that mess and now basically just wanting to save face.

Is what it is. Let's just hope if he goes we actually get something and didn't do this entirely to appease him.

4 year/ $110M, let's go already

We'd have to assume the only way the trade is made for picks only is if the FO has a deal in place for a different vet WR. Some possibilties...
Cooper- I think he's being underrated by the people on this board, but I couldn't imagine the Browns would let go of him without getting a WR back
Tee Higgins- Doubtful the Bengals would move Higgins, knowing it would facilitate BA you going to their rival.
Adams - everyone's top choice, but I just don't see it happening
Bourne- if he truly was the centerpiece of the trade with the patriots I would think the Niners could go back and get him. Injured last year and on a rebuilding team with a ton of young wide receivers. Probably could get him for a a#4

Adam Thielen- I haven't seen his name mentioned, but it makes a lot of sense. Carolina is rebuilding and has a group of good wide receivers, including their number one pick that they want to get on the field.

Would add Courtland Sutton to the list. Just hope it's not a Darius Slayton or much lower tier WR.

At least it sounds like he is hesitant to leave here, if reports are true that the decision is on him. If he was dead set on leaving - it would of happened already.

I think there is a solid chance he stays and hopefully this sh!t is over by EOD.

CeeDee Lamb and Jamaar Chase?

No way either one signs for under $30m

I bet that 1 if not both exceed Jefferson's $35m.

I hope the Cowboys give CeeDee that much.

Don't really care what the Bengals do.

I still feel like he will end up on the 49ers.

The 49ers will make a small concession to make the Aiyuk camp feel like the deal is more palatable and that they got some kind of "win" and that'll be the end of it.

I don't think he really thought this whole thing through. The 49ers called his bluff and now he has no choice.

His agent has done a terrible job here advising him.

I hope we retain Aiyuk. He's a young up and coming player and will improve more as time goes on. Having said that, I think it's a 50/50 chance we keep Aiyuk. Last year, I already saw that we'd have problems signing him back. My best hope is that if we lose Aiyuk, it would be like KC losing Tyreek. They still won in the Super Bowl. I hope we do too. I have a feeling we'll be having a 3rd Championship rematch with KC this season in the playoffs.

Two day two picks works for me. I doubt if anybody would give the 49ers a day one pick. Now, I hope - if we lose Aiyuk - they actually use one of the Day Two picks to get a left tackle to backup Trent Williams.

they made it last year with god awful qb play. With Wilson and BA I see them back in the playoffs. Tomlin knows what he's doing. But I hope so.

Got in because Baltimore laid down last game and then got destroyed by Buffalo. Baltimore is better this year and a healthy Burrow makes Cincy way better. Cleveland is prolly still better than them with that defenses. Imo

Exactly, I think they're gonna finish last in their division which probably puts them at like 6-11. That could potentially be a bottom 10-12 finish.

Courtland Sutton is NOT GOOD! I don't know what you all see in him. He has had one WR1 or WR2 caliber season in his career entire career and it was five years ago.

yup that's what i am saying. he also isn't much of a scheme fit, he would make more sense on a team that wanted to send him downfield, like a BUF

Sounds like Aiyuk..

It really irks me that multi millionaires in sports keep throwing their toys out of the cot and demand stuff. This is surely a race to the bottom with no positive end game in sight.
Having said that, we will all forget about it in the next week or 2 and it will not make a got darn difference to anything major except him.

Unless they are hammering out long term contract numbers (which you would think would be done already) but with this mess you never know.

I won't blame his agent. BA has the final decision. At some point, the agent has to follow his client's desire. If he doesn't he gets fired. Walking a narrow line.
