If the 49ers were to deal for Crosby he'd have a $30.69m cap hit for 2026, $29.782m in 2027, $27.282m in 2028 & $28.212m in 2029 but they're likely redo his deal for 2026 which would save $28.028m meaning he'd take up $1.905m but add $5.75m to his 2027-2029 cap hits not bad IMO

So it's doable and the $28.028m they'd save from redoing his deal would nearly cover his 2027 cap hit but they would need to clear some room in 2027 but they can easily do that with guys like Brock CMC Osa Bosa Warner and Lenoir which save over $83m from all of them combined

Nice. Let's do it!

I don't think teams care about his various social media antics. They care a bit more about going AWOL but even that isn't major (guys have been signed after doing that)

The biggest issue is his knee & that's he's 1.5 years since playing in the NFL. If I had to guess, he'd AT BEST get something similar to Jennings at $8m but incentive based and not guaranteed.

He is 28 coming off about as bad a knee injury as you can get. It's extremely unlikely he's ever move the way he did in the past. It would be a shocking development if Aiyuk ever got even a mid tier deal the remainder of his career but I guess we'll see

I sure wouldn't be confident in that assessment.

"he quit"... yall can view it that way.

or it can be viewed he didn't want to deal with the BS of this front office, and he found a loophole to get paid 50mill for only 7 games, and he gets to pick his next team for a new contract...be it 8mill...10mill.... then in 2027 if he plays like how he has played in the past.. will get a yuge contract.

It's such BS that they're asking him to come rehab at the facility. How dare they. Every other team in the NFL let's players rehab however they want to.

yes, like the 9ers "let" Bosa do his in Florida... and they "let" CMC travel to Germany for his treatment.

Those guys still did their required check-ins with the team medical staff. They worked with the 49ers and made arrangements for their outside rehab. Aiyuk clearly did not.

Great news everyone!
I dreamt about this game last night and we lost 59 to 16. Since my dreams never come true I see this as a good sign.

While I wish we drafted some OL guys earlier the past 3 drafts, I think in Kyle's view the lack of speed and inability to separate was the biggest disruption to the flow of offense and possibly also affected the running game. I think he is right and I think we'll be near 30 ppg, but my problem is when its a big moment, will that O-line hold up? Same old story.

If we are looking like a top 5 team (which I believe we are, at least on paper) midway thru the season, I want Niners to go all in on Maxx Crosby if he is looking like himself & fully healed. Kittle, Trent, CMC, Juice, etc deserve a ring with this team. Don't let them be the Harbaugh Niners & never get it done.

I can't see Paraag loosening the purse to acquire Maxx Crosby. Las Vegas is going to want a premium in compensation. His compensation this year is pretty much all game checks as they didn't restructure his salary into a signing bonus. His guarantees are 30M in salary this year and 29M in salary next year. Then his salary is non-guaranteed and drops to 26.5M and 27.43M. He's going to want a new contract at around the same time Bosa is going to want a new contract.

An in-season trade of Crosby actually kind of makes sense financially.

Pay him $15M for the season and then try to flip him in the offseason.

I'd rather spend less than half of that and have Clowney all season. You don't have to do the draft pick dance of sending multiple early picks (and probably Mykel Williams) just to flip him in the offseason for some of that value back.

That's dumb, the FO has always been the better half of the trade table.

clowney over Crosby? Ridiculous

Disagree. The Lance trade is in the convo of worst trades in NFL history. Then there was Jog Young. We spent a 3rd round pick on a half-season rental because we thought Young was the missing piece for that championship run. "Young has history with Bosa! Ignore him being terrible on Washington! Bosa will motivate him! Young will excel! We'll get back that 3rd round compensatory pick!" Well, he didn't excel. He wasn't even good with us. He signed a 1-year 13M deal with the Saints which returned a 4th round compensatory pick. Then there was Brian Robinson Jr.. He was barely used. Cost a 6th for a 1-year rental and didn't even fetch back a future compensatory pick. They gave up a 2nd round pick for Dee Ford, gave him a huge multi-year contract, then witnessed his falloff before a back injury effectively ended his career.

Maxx Crosby is not the same as he was 2021-23. Clowney has been consistently better the last two years and is a fraction of the cost. I would have also taken Grennard and Hendrickson over Crosby too.

Terrible with Washington? He was DROY and made the Pro Bowl. Then he had injury riddled 2nd and 3rd seasons, playing 12 games over two seasons. He had 5 sacks in his seven games with Washington. If you could get a guy producing like that at the start of the season for a 3rd, you do it. I'm not saying the trade worked out, but to say he was terrible in Washington isn't fair.

Disagree with the Crosby take also BUT Clowney at a fraction of the cost isn't a bad idea.

I think it's unlikely but I just can't see anyone giving them 2 1sts when the Ravens pulled out due to his injury history.

Nobody buys that injury BS. They pulled out get Hendrickson and keep them draft picks.

Maxx Crosby admitted it on his podcast. He said he went to the Ravens facility on March 10th went through the physical testing with the team. Then he had MRIs, X-Rays, and other tests. The Ravens had already been in contact with Crosby's medical team and it was explained to the Ravens that his meniscus injury wasn't going to inhibit him in 2026. Crosby would do the handshakes with those in the organization before the scheduled meeting to go over the physical. While Crosby was hyped up, he started to notice the vibes were off on the Ravens side. GM Eric DeCosta avoided meeting with Crosby before their scheduled meeting. Crosby did meet Ravens HC Jesse Minter. Crosby went to dab up Minter and Minter just stared at him with a blank face. Minter didn't appear excited with what was happening. Crosby would attend the meeting shortly after which is when DeCosta joined them. In the room were other Ravens execs and the team doctors. The doctors informed Crosby he failed his physical and the workup showed long-term concerns with a degenerative issue they had noticed. The Ravens informed Crosby that they would seek out more opinions on the results of his physical then get back to him.

Crosby immediately left the Ravens facility and headed back to his hotel. He called his agent, CJ LaBoy, and his surgeon, Neal ElAttrache. On the calls, Crosby said he was freaking out and thought something had gone wrong with his previous surgery. He was afraid of getting another surgery to correct any issues. Later that evening, a Ravens exec called up Crosby and told him they were still trying to work out how to move forward. Minutes after that call, LaBoy called Crosby and told him the trade was off. The Ravens were backing out. Crosby was pissed off, packed up, and flew back to Vegas that night. The next day, Crosby was back at the Raiders facility and working out.

That's a lot of words for not proving what other guy said as incorrect. Also, try linking your sources so we can vet the quality of your memory and the source material.

The injury concerns from the Ravens was real. Here's the source, Maxx Crosby himself



Here's the reporting from the Athletic covering it - https://archive.is/gHglL

Edit - Schefter reported more info on who the Ravens sought for a 2nd opinion.

Adam Schefter on Maxx Crosby's failed Ravens physical:

Schefter also reported what Crosby's own surgeon said to ESPN

Maxx Crosby is eight weeks from having meniscus surgery and got off crutches only last week. He is on schedule, and they are working to get him ready for the regular-season opener.

Here is what Crosby's knee surgeon, Dr. Neal ElAttrache, said to ESPN this morning:

Before it was "minor meniscus repair". Then it was this.

surgery to treat a significant meniscus tear and the related stress injury to the bone and cartilage in his knee.

All the twitter docs people love to quote were saying this was indicating arthritis and a possible degenerative issue

You're speculating.

No one knows whether the Ravens:

A) were genuinely concerned with the findings of the MRI and nixed the deal because of it

or

B) used the MRI as cover after getting cold feet.

I'm not sure anyone can claim one way or the other, other than the Ravens at this point.

Brother, CROSBY himself said he was told by the Ravens they had long terms concerns with his knee. If you think I'm speculating, then you also think CROSBY himself is speculating. The level of denial in the fanbase these days is wild.

The Ravens would say that whether they believed it or not. You do understand that teams are capable of lying? Or is it just the 49ers brass you believe every Machiavellian story about?

With that said I think there is only going to be 1 destination, and thats Washington

He certainly wants to play there, so I expect that's where he'll end up. If they were to change their mind though, I would think another team will give him a chance. Who knows for certain?

Probably end up a Ram lulz

the reality is it doesn't matter where he ends up his heart is absent, he has checked out as a result of getting paid, figures he is set for life, he may take a contract to keep the scam going but it's just him getting what he can while being checked out, so i welcome that for rams go for it, he will only waste their time and money, just like he only wastes our time in this thread

 

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

2023 will be his best season as an NFL player. He'll never be a 1000 yard receiver again. I believed this during his contract dispute. And this was before he tore every CL in his knee and didnt play football for nearly 2 full seasons.

He can sign a one week contract with each and every team we play against next year and I still won't be worried. 2023 was a textbook contract season. He played out of his mind bc he wanted money and everything he's done since then has done nothing but confirm that.

Specifically

"Many evaluators liked this pickup at No. 33, though it was questioned by fans and media members at the time as one of April's biggest surprises. Stribling was a late riser in the process, and the wide receiver is considered an ideal fit for coach Kyle Shanahan's offense. "He was going within the first five to 10 picks in the second round," an NFC executive said. "That was not a reach at all. He can really play."

Strib has all the tools, just gonna need to put it all together.

Do you think he will be KS' best ever second round pick?

He can be, all these guys have the skills when you really think about it.

He can be the best WR in the NFL.. but does he have the heart to do it. That's what separates good and great players.
