Hilarious. Exactly this and it is so very frustrating. They're acting as though we already won and they need to cash in INSTEAD of winning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-ALL-DAY Posted August 28 Author Share Posted August 28 The team expects Aiyuk to practice today. Let's see if that happens. The Williams contract situation is not close to being finalized. Hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissooner49er Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Sorry guys, but this smacks of selfishness and the longer it goes, the more I will blame these two if our season self-destructs. Yes, I know the 9ers are playing hardball, but it was our players who could not finish in the Super Bowl last year. Just one less mistake by any one of them and we win. So frustrating.

The team is ego-tripping trying to save face and not get run over by the player. Which is funny because they were already run over by CMC this offseason. 4 hours ago, Chrissooner49er said: Sorry guys, but this smacks of selfishness and the longer it goes, the more I will blame these two if our season self-destructs.

It's a contract negotiation. Of course there is selfishness by the players and the team. As far as the Super Bowl goes, it wasn't just the players that lost that game. The gameplan (coaching) and roster construction didn't hold up against a really good defense. You are coping when you say "one less mistake by any one of them and we win". One less mistake and nothing can change, or everything can change. We don't know. If the 49ers season self-destructs with the absence of Aiyuk and Trent, that's kinda making the case they were right about their value to the team and should be compensated accordingly. I'd also remind you that Aiyuk has already reported to the team. He's been working out on side fields and at Santa Clara U while the 49ers work out their options moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is working out "on the side" and offsite, the niners may have a grievance, but that will only make things more messy and is probably not worth pursuing.

He reported soreness to the back/neck to the team. The team accepted it. If the 49ers had an issue with it, they would have already had the team doctors examine him and then took up a grievance. Instead, they've rolled with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have had the team doctor look at it regardless. Wouldn't have acted on it, but when a star player of mine tells me he is injured, doing anything but having the team doctor look at it would be negligent imo. Gotta treat it like a real injury, cant tell a guy he is faking it, even though literally everyone knows its true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4L Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 I can understand why they would be upset considering Aiyuk has said no to literally everything theyve put in front of him and is faking an injury. Should have taken the two 2nds from washington when it was on the table. Ben Sinnot and a 2nd. Make it happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their 2 2s in the draft this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
