adamq Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 What are the chances Lynch calls the bluff and makes him stay? Lynch should be the one holding out, for a FRP. Either sit and maybe get traded at the deadline, or play, but if we aren't getting a WR back anyway what's the difference? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't get what we consider fair compensation, make him sit and lose game checks. He is still under contract. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 49ers overvalue players. I have a hard time believing they will accept a low offer just to get rid of Aiyuk. Side note: Ricky has connections with the Steelers’ side, but he’s been reporting incorrectly on the 49ers’ end. He only knew that Aiyuk agreed to a contract, thinking that would make this trade happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The timing felt weird, especially since it hasn't happened yet. It's as if they put out fake information to scare the 49ers. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we should include Rickey with "some twitter accounts". He's clearly in the know and has nailed more than a few things. Working backwards from this information, given the timing of his original tweet regarding a "nuclear bomb of a trade" going down, it is safe to say that the handshake video was aiyuk being happy about getting traded to Pittsburgh. Rickey tweeted it and then 2 hours later that moment was caught on camera. Kyle later said "well regardless of what came out yesterday, it's been the same for about a week" (paraphrasing). The deal hasn't happened because we are looking for additional wr help. Pittsburgh won't give it to us. No one is selling any WRs right now, partly because all the teams with WR depth are good teams, and good teams won't want to help us win. Perhaps we end up keeping him, but there is enough smoke now about Pittsburgh and what the comp is (a 2nd) that you can't deny Rickey is legitimate. He was miles ahead of all of the "reputable reporters" who seemingly only release information to the public when it suits the teams and/or the agents. It is bad for us that it is known the deal is done. We want to maintain leverage in wr talks with other teams? Not sure what our plan is here. There aren't any Xs available other than davante Adams and Courtland Sutton? No clue who they are targeting, but I don't think we will land anyone. What happens if we can't acquire another WR? Do we still trade him? I would be inclined to say no, so in that case, the deal may fall apart, which is why people keep insisting it's not "done", because it's not, even though the trade comp to all parties has been agreed to. Niners probably realize they can't find another wr, so they leaked that the browns and the pats were interested. They knew already that aiyuk wouldn't go to either place, but were simultaneously trying to get Pittsburgh to up their offer, get the fanbase on their side, and convince aiyuk to stay. Meanwhile, they already agreed to a deal when they thought they could add a wr, but now they can't they are upping their price (just a guess), but pit just held firm so the niners are stuck. Honestly, I am pretty comfortable riding this thing out unless we get davante Adams, I'm gonna just hold aiyuk. Sorry buddy. You could have taken 31.5m from NE. Instead you'll make 14 if you don't end up on the NFI. Not great business practices, but I personally would refuse to get strong armed. Man, I'm glad someone has the patience to keep track of all this. Strong summary of likely events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My theory now is that Ricky that radio guy from Pittsburgh that was harping on Aiyuk going to the Steelers earlier this offseason. I forget his name. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like he's floundering now Occam's Razor: Aiyuk hasn't been traded because the two sides haven't agreed to compensation for a trade. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm even sitting on 25%+ of him in bestball tournaments so I'd be happy. But as you said, probably more BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
