Now that we have Diggs, should we drop the pursuit of Brandon Aiyuk?

Yeah, when they get really desperate in a few days there will be an interesting buy low opportunity. Aiyuk and SF’s 4th in exchange for NE’s 4th. Pretty much a nothing trade picks-wise but SF gets out of the contract.

San Fran always plays hardball, then caves at the last moment. I wouldn't do a pick swap. Even if a 3rd round pick is thrown in, I still probably won't accept the trade. Too risky.

The other scenario if there are no takers and they have to pay his $31M bonus is that the 49ers would cut him with a post June 1st designation after the 2025 season.

Let’s stock up on head cases with knee injuries.

A guy like Elijah Moore would make more sense.

Signing Diggs shouldn’t stop us from getting more receivers in free agency or in the draft. The Pats need more weapons. I wouldn’t mind Aiyuk or Amari Cooper, and also a high draft pick at WR.

Cousins,
Sorry just a Asiago Cheese bagel toasted with butter and a hot chocolate for a quick breakfast.

Here is the scenario:
To me, signing someone of Diggs' stature was partly to have the have other Teams game plan. We had NO ONE in 2024. so I propose the following "would-ya". ......

Brandon Aiuk is only 27 He was never a speed merchant at 4.5(see Jerry Rice). The Diggs signing took a lot of gulping and necktie loosening. But you got there even if he is not the perfect suspect. If this was purely Eliot's doing it would have never happened. We all can agree to that.

We've been doing the dance with John Lynch for over a year on Aiuk, We now have the advantage and still over $70mm in CAP.. I watched an interesting Podcast from Frisco. They are still for this trade but with terms that might be a winner for the Psts. Imagine a healthy Diggs and Aiuk on the outside?

There idea of a fair trade was Aiuk for our three 7th rounders (they need numbers to build) plus Baker (.....don't ask). Why? This move saves Jed York $110,000,000 that's why.

Aiuk might not be ready until November it's true but yiu always buy low. Worse case scenario is he heals and we use him for wampum in a trade Cousins.

Would ya?

I don't see the problem with his contract. A lot of it is fake money during year 3 and 4. So what's it matter? I don't even see why they need to trade him so badly.
