Aiyuk officially requests trade

[1960Pats]

Shaq Mason played nearly ten years, won two Super Bowls, and was one of the best guards and run blockers in the AFC. He doesn’t suck because he didn’t get voted by fans onto the popularity team.

Neither did David Andrews, Hunter Henry or a bunch of other players. While the dynasty teams were winning multiple rings they were getting disrespected every year by voters. It’s a joke at this point…

This is why I hate all pro and HOF voting. They're all a joke.

What won't be funny is if the Pats give up their top pick for Aiyuk, give him 30 mil a year and the Pats still suck. What will this place look like when SF has our top pick in next years draft? The Tankheads will be jumping off of cliffs (very tall ones hopefully).

Top Pick?? who said anything about a Top pick a Second Rounder definitely gets it done. Have you see the WR's some Teams have surrounded their QB's with?? Caleb Williams have DJ Moore - K Allen and R Odunze. Jordan Love in Green Bay have some very good young guys Goff in Detroit have St Brown and Jameson Williams who should take off this year. Put very good Talent around a young QB especially @ WR and they'll get good in a hurry.

There’s no way I’d give up next years first. I’d do a second, not touching 1st.

Aiyuk Elevates this bunch CB's wouldn't yawn with Aiyuk across from them. Some guys are worth it!

probably a top 10 pick, how about a bundle pkg of a 2nd and 6th

I’d do that all day.

Aiyuk is forcing SF's hand. The 49ers are in a win now position and can't afford him holding out. They will either pay up or be forced to trade him to avoid distractions.

And I don't want the Pats to trade for him.

I don't even understand the logic in getting him. The team is not going to be in playoff contention for a couple of years. The idea of trading a top 10 pick and paying 30mill for him is stupid.

49ers have so many large contracts on the roster, they are going to have to **** or get off the pot. The number the 49ers made was a good one, but ruined by the Lions paying St. Brown. They were able to do this because they don't have a ton of big contracts on the roster. The issue for Aiyuk is, do other teams in the NFL view him as a WR that warrants trading the compensation the 49ers are looking for? If teams believe he is worth $30M+, that would mean you are a special WR. I just don't think teams view him that way.

It helps when a head coach doesn’t inexplicably torpedo any chance his defense has of being competitive by benching one of his best tackling corners and playing Jordan Richards in a Super Bowl

"In a chat with Albert Breer of The MMQB earlier this week, Butler admitted that his work on the field this season has not been his best.

“Anything that happened to me is my fault,” he said. “It has nothing to do with anything else, it’s possible to just have a ****ty season. It is what it is.

www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/malcolm_butler_admits_he_had_a_bad_season_in_2017/s1_127_25619876

Malcolm Butler graded out as one of the worst starting CB’s in the NFL in 2017, then he became a distraction the week before the biggest game of the year. He admitted he sucked after the season was over.

Also Jordan Richard’s was a strong safety who entered the game after Patrick Chung got injured mid game. Eric Rowe was playing for Butler, he was better than Butler, he was better than Butler going forward for the next few years. Butler peaked in 2016. He signed a massive deal with the Titans and they benched him for Adoree Jackson, their nickel corner.

You have a gift for telling it like it isn’t…

Coaching. Game Planning. Game Management (including time mgmt). And last but definitely not least, luck.

Coaching is part of a well rounded team, health in the NFL = “luck”

The 49ers have Aiyuk for 3 more years if they want him. They can use the 5th year option then franchise tag him to death.

They allowed him and his agent to talk to other teams back before the draft… if anyone was willing to overspend they would have done it already.

49ers can't afford for him to hold out. Deebo will be hobbling off the field with his annual injury and their offense will be screwed if both WR's are out. His price will only go up if he keeps putting up the stats he's putting up. 49ers are trying to get him at a discount, but St. Brown forced their hand.

Regarding the tag, If he and his agent are smart, they can force the NFL to remove the tag if they can prove the 49ers aren't negotiating in good faith towards a long term deal. Nick Foles is the latest to get the Eagles to remove the tag. The 49ers are being stubborn. They don't want to pay him, but they want unrealistic compensation in return for him.

Is there a tag? I thought that SF exercized their 5th year option.

That's absolutely right PF2.. tell it like it is!! Look at CJ he has Collins, Dell, Diggs...

You just told me you either needed a generational talent QB or a superweapon to win a ring… the 2017 Eagles had neither and the Patriots had both.

So you were wrong, now you’re putting words in my mouth because you look idiotic.

You inability to understand what I wrote does not make me wrong.

The need for either a generational QB or superweapon is fan myth… total BS. All you need is a well rounded team.

How many rings does Jerry Rice have?

 

[rkarp1]

I would think that SanFran looking for a SB would entertain the Pats #3 pick (#65-70?) and Judon.
Judon might get them into another SB
SF did draft Pearsall in rd #1 this season. they have an Aiyuk replacement already on the roster.
Aiyuk contract give him the same offer made to Ridley + 1 year. 5/$120. AAV $24. total guarantee $50m

I responded directly to what you wrote with examples of why you were wrong. This ^ is a deflection because it’s hard to argue with history.

How many rings does Jerry Rice have?

The 49ers were a great team. Rice has the same amount of rings as 7th round pick Julian Edelman.

Aiyuk has zero rings, if he has the magic power to win rings the 49ers obviously haven’t benefited from it.

So we’ve gone from first round pick, a page or so back you were pushing a 2nd rounder, now we’re onto a 3rd.

All you need now is San Francisco to be walking back their trade demands along with you, also Aiyuk to not want Justin Jefferson type money that he’s not worth.

Judon for Aiyuk straight up, and we’ll pay Aiyuk around 85% top of the market deal… I could live with that.

For some reason people still haven't figured out how the other half lives even though we have now been living as the other half for 5 years now. We had two decades of success because we had the greatest player of all time. If you don't have the greatest football player to ever live then you need to invest in man beater type athletes.
