Brandon Aiyuk is a 49er! Pick #25, 2020 NFL Draft

I'm fine with trading Aiyuk and I'm also happy to pay him. His value is high with being an All pro last year, and he'd be a great player to have long term.

The catch is I'm only fine trading him if we get a mid first rounder, around picks 15-28.

Not having Aiyuk would make our passing game less dynamic, but it could make the team much better overall since we've underutilized Kittle, Deebo, Juscyck, Jennings in the passing game and that pick could be used on a really good player…. resetting our "window".

I came late to the conversation but I'm fine either way.

Details of St. Brown's contract. The Lions have easy outs in 26, 27, and 28. I would do this deal for BA in a heartbeat

Cap hits are
5m
14m
33m
29m
41m

Lions probally did this to try and screw us over. They are like "You want to force us to pay Brock Wright more than we wanted to, we will do the same for Aiyuk"

If Odunze is there at #9 would you trade Aiyuk and #31 to the Bears for #9 and draft Odunze? I want one of those top 3 WR's if we are going to lose Aiyuk. They are the only 3 that can be a #1 WR from day one.

So they can cut him in 2026 lol. That's why I told people to calm down

Exactly I said a few pages back I bet it had a fake year, like Hill. I would love this deal for Aiyuk. Low cap until 26 and can wash their hands if he struggles

Amon ra's contract has no effect on BA's. This "setting the market" every new contract needs to stop. You get paid what you deserve. BA in no way in hell is getting that much. That's just the way it is. He isnt good enough. Teams need to stop giving horrible contracts

Agreed.

So $35M FGTD. Not $70+M

I disagree. I think mid to low first is not equal compensation. Not saying we'd get more, but BA is the best WR we've had since TO. He fills a very specific role in this offense that cannot be replicated by our current players, and that is consistently getting open. To me BA is worth more than the crap-shoot that is picking a mid-first player, especially is a SB window. I'd say pay the man his bag, or let him play out his fifth and kick the van down the road.
