At this point, we deserve to lose him. I dont understand for the life of me what our front office is doing here. He should have been locked up before Amon and all of them. Since he wasnt, we have no choice but to give him market rate.

Blows my mind how anyone could be upset at Aiyuk over this. He is an All Pro and one of the most productive WRs in the league. Give him what he wants FFS, and get this done!

I mean asking for a trade mid July is one last attempt to get as much cash as possible…also it's not like SF didn't talk to teams about possible trade scenarios back before the draft when his value was his highest and teams actually had cash/compensation to give. There was no real takers.

No team is gonna move the assets needed to get him and pay him what he wants.

Unless a #1 on another contending team goes down with a season ending injury during the pre season.

Meh I don't know man. It's not just trading for a guy you're trading to pay him a massive contract on top of it.

if a team has a real #1 that goes down they aren't just gonna replace them with BA imo. This is a long-term investment for any team.

I agree, the F.O. should have locked him up before the market changed.

Agree but if they're a contender that has cap space it's a move to keep the fan base.

Should they have held a gun to his head and forced him to sign their contract offer? People act like this doesn't involve two parties. BA's party could've been the side refusing to take a deal until the other receivers signed and reset the market. Nobody knows for certain.

BA has shown his b***hassness on the field for years now. We've documented it in this thread many times. Nothing that's happened this off-season has surprised me one bit.

no way they gonna trade him unless its player4player trade. Last year before Brock Purdy gets paid and our cap situation gets difficult. He has no leverage. No way he will sit out a whole season.

Even if he does end up signing an extension I can see this being an unproductive season like it was with Deebo and Bosa after negotiations took long
