Patriots Rumor Patriots potentially trading for Aiyuk (Update - Patriots Out of the Running)

[Wozzy]

You mean the Titans with the soon to be Great Will Levis?? I beg to differ.

God I hope this is sarcasm...

 

[Real fan 02]

Wolf and Mayo saw First hand how you can Ruin a Young QB they are making sure that doesn't happen with Maye.

The Foxboro pee wee squad had a better offense than we did last season. If Brissett has the job for now it's ok.. Cannon arm Drake when he's ready will have an excellent WR corps.. ayuik, Polk , Baker, Tyquan and Henry at TE.. would be great!

You'll pay more than you'll pay Aiyuk and you likely won't get one. Higgins, Aiyuk and Lamb are the only 3 top wr's possible and Lamb likely signs a contract extension, Aiyuk is going to sign one where he's traded so it's ONLY Higgins, who could be franchised and then traded which is what everyone expects.

You are not getting one at Aiyuk's level in free agency.

Some people can't grasp the fact that top 10 players at their position don't hit free agency in their mid 20's. Even if Aiyuk plays in SF this year he will get franchised and traded for next year.

 

[Wozzy]

No they all won’t, teams will franchise, teams don’t let players like that just walk for nothing.

The Dolphins just let Christin Wilkins walk for nothing, teams tight up against the cap often have to let players go.

 

[KCSVEN]

Ask 32 GM's and head coaches in the league if they're taking Aiyuk over Tyreek Hill, Justin Jefferson or AJ Brown simply because PFF gave him a better player grade. They'll laugh in your face...

If Aiyuk was any of these players above, he would already be signed to a contract with the 49ers.

He's not and they know it, they can replace him with the rookies they drafted and get similar production. They won't skip a beat.

If AJ Brown was one of those players the Titans would have signed him to a contract and not traded him, That's the same logic you want to use on Aiyuk? 49ers have to pay a QB next year.
I would wager a ton of money the rookies won't have anywhere near the production as Aiyuk, that's just nutty to say.

Teams that could win a super bowl next year take Tyreek, the other teams that need to build the next 2 years take Aiyuk because Tyreek is 30 and Aiyuk is 26.

Put him on the Titans and he'll be lucky to get 800 yards receiving.

Wozzy doesn't think so like BB he wants to save Krafts $$$$$$.

I’m not talking interior defensive linemen, we’re talking WRs.

Lol what is with you and Wilkins? He has become your beacon for your cap not being crap. "See, see! Christian Wilkins didn't get re-signed so the cap is real!"

The GM of the Titans got fired for trading AJ Brown... probably not the example to use.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Hope we can get this done. That would be quite a first offseason for the new regime.

-Keep most of the d in place for the foreseeable future
- Add maye/brissett at qb and aiyuk/ polk/baker /osborn at wr

Thats a great job of upgrading at this point and money well spent vs Calvin ridley or whoever others wanted us to buy for the sake of buying. Aiyuk is a legit go to and worth the price. We still may need an LT next year to complete filling the critical needs (and edge if judon likely walks) but most of us knew we wont fill every hole in one year.

 

[Wozzy]

He got the largest non-QB contract in the NFL this offseason. He's a great example.

Put him on the Titans and he'll be lucky to get 800 yards receiving.

He is better than Hopkins at this point in their careers and Hopkins still went for 1,000 yards.

Post of the YEAR AND ENTIRE THREAD!

 

[Joey007]

I actually think Bourne would do great returning back to SF, if that was the move we made.

 

[Wozzy]

I’m not talking interior defensive linemen, we’re talking WRs.

There's no difference.

 

[slash83]

There's no difference.

Yes there is, elite WRs rarely ever hit the open market.

 

[Wozzy]

He is better than Hopkins at this point in their careers and Hopkins still went for 1,000 yards.

And how does an offense that passes less than just about anyone support two 1000 yard receivers. Hopkins put up numbers on bad offenses, Aiyuk is not the player Hopkins is or was.

 

[PatsFan2]

Remember we had First crack at D-Hop but BB extended Parker instead who recently retired. We couldn't use D-Hop 1,000 yards last year.

 

[Huckleberry1]

If SF were smart they should send him to the worst team to improve their draft pick. Browns and Pitt were both playoff teams, NE is far from it.

The deal with Cleveland appears to include Amari Cooper. If the Patriots have to give them their 1st then **** that.
