Aiyuk should at least get the contract st brown got. Pretty easy for the front office here. Get it done!

This is the rub, cuz St Brown was a lot more productive in sheer volume and All Pro status, which SF could argue to say he gets less, meanwhile BA can say he's on the level and demand equal to St Brown

Aiyuk in a pass heavy offense puts up massive numbers, he's just as good or possibly better than St. brown and he gets his nose dirty blocking

The Niners have the leverage and in this situation I would simply let Ayuk play on the 5th year option then franchise him for 2 1's and let other teams negotiate for the 9era. If too much the niners get two first round picks . So why settle for Any thing less than two 1's

The deal done by @JobyBranion of @VanguardSG makes St. Brown the highest-paid WR in the NFL. pic.twitter.com/EIoBNU6jJw

$77 million guar, fine. Match the deal for aiyuk, done deal. We can make it work.

Aiyuk is roughly as good as St. Brown. It would be so dumb not to just get him signed with the market established. If there's a concern about the amount spent on receivers, the obvious choice is to trade Deebo - as it ALWAYS has been.

This is a monumental occasion and the choice is obvious. We're about to find out whether our FO is legit or has just been lucky.

I think they're on comparable levels as receivers. The big difference is that Aiyuk is a true outside receiver playing at the toughest spot on the field(XWR) while Amon-Ra St. Brown is primarily a slot guy.

You could make an argument that BA deserves more than what Amon got.

Isn't the point of having Purdy and Shanahan is we don't need to max out every skill position on offense?

Since Kyle is supposed to be a "genius," getting linemen is more important and Kyle can scheme guys open.
