The problem is that Aiyuk used all of his ammo.
He can't request a trade harder. He can't sit out more. He can't pound the table again.
He is just going to miss game checks now. His time to strike was two weeks ago.
As much as refusal Aiyuk has been dishing out, he has no choice but to either accept a trade or miss game checks. If Aiyuk caves into what the 9ers offered him, he'll be one of the biggest laughing stocks. IMO. If he settles for anything less than $28 million, all of what he did would have been for absolutely nothing. Dude is in a deeper hole than he wanted to be in, his bluff been called so many times he's looking like a big a*****e now.
But does he even have a no trade clause or are we being nice to him by allowing him to kick the tires and see first if a team like Cle will even pay him?
We know that Pitt wasn't going to give him near what he wanted and supposedly offered what we did at $26M per.
if we get Amari Cooper, a 2nd rounder, a 5th as reported then maybe we just pull that trigger….. then Aiyuk gets there and Cle offers him $26.1M and he gets clowned and sees his career extinguish in 2 years of mediocrity.
