I don't think he is worth $14M annually for 3 years and I don't see him opting out of his contract. Am I interpreting this correctly that there is no dead cap if he opts-in then is released in the offseason?

His deal is non GTD, he's signed thru 2026, no dead money if released or traded.

As of right now, I don't see the Niners extending either Gregory or Chase. Why do it when you're salary-cap strapped if you can pick up similar type of talent in the trade deadline next year without paying up ?

Re-sigining Aiyuk is the #1 priority right now.

there are a lot more Gregorys than there are Youngs and we are looking at 50 mill in cap space next year

And who in your mind can replace Chase Young?

I don't think you can count of picking up a talent like Chase in the trade deadline. This is an exception rather than the norm. Same as the CMC trade. It happened but no way you can count on having that opportunity in the future.

The exception was because his long-term health is very questionable. I guess people already forgot that Niners are paying Dee Ford a lot of money this year still ?

Mmm, we can certainly take on reclamation projects and have Kocurek do his magic, but Chase Young doesn't fall under that category. That guy is a Pro Bowl-level talent that has struggled with injuries in 2021, 2022. Was playing at an elite level when we traded for him.

But agreed, I think Aiyuk needs to be the priority.

Ahhhh, this is what you were meaning. In that regard, you are right and I agree with you.
Injury concerns are certainly a question.

No one knows the future but Dee Ford's scenario is not even close to Youngs

It's not. But when it comes to priority, the 49ers do like to reward the players they've drafted and value as cornerstones to the franchise (Kittle, Warner, Bosa, etc.)
I think Aiyuk's ascension, and relatively clean injury history make him our priority in contract extensions, vs. a (very talented) guy we just added who has had a torn ACL in his career.

He basically had one freak injury. The injury history shouldn't be that concerning. Normally the concern would be whether he can come back playing the same level as before the injury. This concern is no longer a concern since he is playing at an elite level this season.

no way they focus on one over another. All offers would be worked on the same time. With Chase still getting back to form and the winning culture in play, i hope he wants to sign and not for record breaking money.

Right now the cap is not an issue. in 2026 is where it gets dicey
