I know the 49ers just picked up his fifth year option but could they look to sell high now? His name was mentioned as a potential trade target of the Chiefs on a local podcast and the more I think about it the more it seems like a potential Brett Veach move that kind of comes out of left field. No. I think SF will ask for a price well beyond what Aiyuk is actually worth. With that, teams will balk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make more sense to trade Deebo next offseason But i think they keep the core intact (Deebo, Aiyuk, Kittle, CMC) for 2 more years Aiyuk is getting extended, just a matter of this or next offseason, since we have the 5th year option Edited March 28, 2023 by 49ersfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very little. If a team offered something like a first and third (if that first is like 29 or 30 or something) or a first and 4th (if that first was like pick 24 or 25), I think that they would listen, but I think the odds of that are nominal.

Makes more sense just to keep them both over the next two years while the team is contending with a rookie QB. Give Aiyuk his big money deal at the start of the 2024 season and worst case scenario, you cut Deebo in 2025 if he's not worth his money. There is no hurry to trade Aiyuk because the paydays of Deebo and Aiyuk are structured where you likely don't have to make a decision before 2025. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, they need to maximize their championship window. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish that championship window was being lead by a QB I have faith could take it to the next level when needed lol I like Purdy, and I think he's just fine on the field, but in the playoffs I just am not sure if he'll be good enough against a Mahomes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Mahomes' protection dies on the playoff run to the Super Bowl like it did in 2020. The NFC is wide open enough that Purdy can get you to the Super Bowl. That's the logic I see for the Lions, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brock misses some games and Darnold beats out Lance, are we all pretty much out on Lance? That feels like it'd be the final straw for him.
