That's what happened with Buckner.
One slight difference is Buckner was traded more than a month before the draft.
They got their great offer early.
There's a big difference. We told Buckner's agent they can start inquiring about a trade themselves and they did that. This was not the case with Aiyuk.
They did right after the SB loss, Buckner was unhappy apparently, he was allowed to enquire about a trade, thus why he was dealt the day the new league year opened, plus the 49ers were over the cap if they kept him at his 5th yr option number, & there were talks of tagging Armstead, which would have put us much higher over the cap.
I don't think BA gets dealt, but I could be wrong, I pray he isn't, just sign him to a new deal, St. Brown got a big deal, but players & agents look at the first 3yrs of the deal, and how much the player will earn over it, for St. Brown he's gonna earn $60.2M over the first 3yrs(2024-2026), so Aiyuk will want to beat that, that's another thing when looking at contracts, the APY is fluff, something agents can brag about, the players care more about guarantees, and the first 3yrs of the deal, cash wise.
