DR43 Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Correct me if I'm wrong but the highest compensatory pick a team can get is a 3rd, right? So, if Aiyuk sticks with the niners and then leaves via FA, that is the most they'll get in return. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t a good GM know that? Or did he finally realize teams don’t give high picks and pay at the same time? To be fair, Lynch does not handle contracts for the niners. Paraag Marathe does. Edit- And if it's not clear, paraag is an egomaniacal ****** (okay, maybe not really, but his contract history is brutal... Dude really wanted to e a GM) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, the 49ers have opened up contract talk with Brandon Aiyuk and his agent, as many are reporting.

Seems to be hinting that the "report" about them having a meeting was not true. Aka another smokescreen by Lynch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 LockedOn Niners guy weighing in: Quote So let me get this straight A guy wants to get paid his worth. His team refused to trade him. His team stops negotiating with him. He tries to get them to sit down so they can fix it. Nothing comes from it. They ice him out. He demands a trade. They let him shop around. Several teams willing to pay him 28-32m per year. So clearly he was right about his value. After months of icing him out they finally come back to the negotiating table. And he’s the diva? Because he felt some type of way about how they went about it? .. nah lol that was BS https://x.com/Crocky209/status/1822028800752013314 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted August 9 Author Share Posted August 9 (edited) https://x.com/DMRussini/status/1822027316064874923 Quote I texted a front office executive: Q: Why do you think the 49ers aren’t calling back the Steelers? A: Probably wait as long as they can…force someone to blink. Sounds like they really don’t want to trade. Maybe hoping someone else comes along. The whole thing is very strange. That's a rather interesting something in there. The fact that other teams are confused by this is something.

warfelg Posted August 10 Author Share Posted August 10 Sounds like what Cleveland offered was Cooper, 2025 2nd, 2025 5th. No wonder the ask went up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This team is not a WR away and giving up major draft resources on top of the huge financial commitment when we have so many needs doesn't seem like something we should be putting alot of effort into pursuing. Im fine with keeping our 2nd rd pick offer on the table, but the Steelers should say "take it or leave it" and go about their business. If it doesnt happen, oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 2nd and 3rd for the 8th best WR in the league according to PFF is more than worth it. Does Keeanu Benton + Darnell Washington = Brandon Aiyuk? I think not.
