Cousins,
We might have gotten our #2 WR in Osbourn, or at least we hope. We still need a #1 and if we invest in the QB "Holy Three " Vontae Mack no matter what"at the #3 pick, that leaves little resources in the Draft to be assured of a #1 WR or top LT both. An ingenious solution with a trade trade must be considered.
75 Catches and 1342 yards with 7TDs by Brandon Aiyuk here might have even saved Mac's job.....or not.
The Niners have a problem
“Aiyuk's situation looms the largest over this 49ers offseason, and if they can't find a way to a contract extension, the talented wideout could theoretically ask to be traded to a team that's willing and able to pay him.”
San Francisco enters the offseason approximately $7.5 million over the projected salary cap, which is something the front office will have to address. The wide receiver is set to make $14.1 million in the final year of his deal in 2024"
$71.55 million was already invested in Deebo?
Deebo Samuel, the star wide receiver of the San Francisco 49ers, has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the 49ers, worth $71.55 million, with $58.1 million guaranteed. He will earn an average salary of $23.85 million per year, making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL
Can the Niners afford to pay Aiyuk the same type of dollars?
My guess is Nyet to have both of them on the books , or two players at the WR position making 22% of the Teams' CAP space..... and here comes Purdy in 2024.
The Pats can afford to match the Deebo contract for Aiyuk (75 catches, 7 TDs and 1342 yards from a QB who might be less talented than say ......a Bo Nix et.al. Just sayin. We've got a 26 year old NFL proven product as our #1 WR.
Now to get to that lofty position of getting an Aiyuk or a Higgins even, the ransom might be more. What if we took the assumed Vikings trade of pick #11 and pick #23 (plus a Vikes first rounder in 2025), get the best QB at #11 and swap #23 to the Niners? Would they bite?
Deebo as a consolation prize would not be terrible.
