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

What I hate, is that I have the Ozempic song stuck in my head, thanks man.

Nah don't get it twisted, we are a better offense with him. He's a very good all around wr, but I don't think he's anything special.

The question becomes do we want to allocate that much to the WR position, or use that money for other things to bolster the roster in future years? I imagine this deal gets done but if not, not a big deal. He can play on the fifth year option.

That's my concern, spending 50 million + on two receivers when we have the least pass attempts in the NFL last year. that and earthquakes

I'm guessing 4 year 112 million (28 per season) with 75-80 million guaranteed

You getting that from the tweet reporting what's on the table?

No, I just figured 28 million a year is what he would get and over 70 million guaranteed. I just have a feeling that since he's not getting close to 30 million a year he will want more than 70 million guaranteed that's why I went with 75 to 80.

Too be cheeky, I will say 27.5 million with some sort of bonus that brings it to 28 million per annum.

Fropwns…..don't just stare at it……Eat It!!!!

I mean we shouldn't pay a QB $200M either if they don't pass the ball a lot.

"I only care about me. Can't afford the Lamborghini(me)? Then you can't have one."

dayamn, that was cold. People forget these dudes are mercenaries focused on securing the bag. BA has always been this dude. He just had a lot of yall fooled with that I want to win bs after the SB loss.

Yup. I said awhile back getting the contract is almost every single players "Super Bowl". Very few guys think team first as far as the cal etc go. Usually the older players who made the $, but now want the ring etc.

I am just curious why we didn't sign him or any of our guys quickly? If BA asked but we don't oblige that is annoying. Every single poster here knew the market would blow up so I mean I feel like it was to the FO advantage as well.

I know it's the reality in today's game, but knowing he really is a mercenary is a turn off and would make me say I'm only getting his maximum effort if he's happy with us paycheck etc which many Gus are never satisfied. He may be hurting his value?

When it comes down to it this is a job. Imagine your boss asking you to take a pay cut to help the dev team and company win an award or get poached by a s**tty competitor for more money and less pressure. If he gets injured the team would dump him and the fans would move on. So I get it.

Only thing is that a WR is easily replaceable even though Aiyuks don't fall outta trees. A WR ain't a QB unless you're Jerry Rice so we can still be good without him but we're better with him

It's more than tiresome… this is all we read and see about the niners…. Fish or cut bait…. I love the guy but enough already.

He is under contract under our control this season and he will be unless we find an offer we can't refuse. We re tough negotiators and with this type of leverage we should be

I understand both sides for sure, but I'd certainly take Bosa's approach with negotiations vs Aiyuk or deebo.

If doubling my salary is a pay cut, sign me up!

Especially when your employer is trying to reward you when we really don't have to

The 49ers can say $14M this year and tag you next for $25M and now you're down to $19.5M over two years. Instead I'm trying to reward you upwards of $26M and you bucking back?

Chile please!

I'm trying to help you

Yeah but we were also historically efficient all year - which has a lot to do with the minimal pass attempts. So there is no guarantee that we won't pass more. We just didn't need to because a majority of the passes ended up going very well and efficient. We also rarely played from behind, if not blowing a team out.

So we may need these guys if we are down in a game and have to pass to catch up (think what happened in the playoffs twice).

I'm guessing the 9ers we're preparing for life without Aiyuk from the drafting of Pearsall.

It's much better to overpay for a great QB ( top 5 Imo ) than overpay for a good ( not elite ) receiver.
