I agree. We would tag him to sign him or trade him, either of which would not result in a big cap hit for 2025. Either way, take his cheap 5th year option first if he really wants to give it to us.
Yeah, I think that's worst case scenario and I believe that's why we have all the leverage.
when you factor in the salary explosion for WRs, him making $14.1M is a super bargain. So things would have to get super ugly.
I think 1 of 2 things are most likely to happen:
1. We resign him and everything's good. We move forward no big deal. Everyone's happy. (Still most likely in my opinion).
2. we can't come to a resolution so we force him to play on the 1 year deal since Aiyuk is very good and relatively cheap - he makes us better if we are chasing a chip and he would be super motivated. Then we franchise him at the end of the year and trade him somewhere.
I think it's highly unlikely we move him this off season, although not out of the realm of possibility.
This sounds great in a perfect world. But it could also turn into him being disgruntled, and him missing camp. Leading to a lack luster performance or injury.
He's playing for a contract he can't get now.
True, but that doesn't mean he will be happy about that nor does that bar him from injury or lackluster performance if he holds out from TC.
