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!
We don't know what we offered him. If we did offer him 27-28M average and he wants $35M like Jefferson, we just can't pay that.
He has to play this year at $15M because that's his 5th year contract. We're doing him a favor by extending him early and locking up future spending for bigger contracts like purdy.
I'm guessing he signs before the regular season because he can't miss regular season games.
