warfelg Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 (edited) https://x.com/937theFan/status/1823716319201734954 Ray with a strong statement here. Quote The San Francisco #49ers have met Brandon Aiyuk’s demands of Annual Salary (near $28M avg), per source. The hold up I’m told is: Amount of years & guaranteed $ on the deal. #Niners want to give Aiyuk a 3Yr extension (4yrs total), BA wants a 4Yr extension (5yrs total). #FTTB https://x.com/49ersSportsTalk/status/1823715912551424065 There's the "iron out" point that I heard about. That's not an ironing out. That's still far apart IMO. Edited August 14 by warfelg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 Piecing a lot of different things together here's where it sounds like Aiyuk sits with contracts: SF - 3 year $90M extension with $45M GTD. That brings full value to 4 years, $114.5M with $60M GTD PIT - 4 year $115M extension with $80M GTD. That brings full value to 5 years, $129.5M with $84.5M GTD The compensation to SF from PIT would be 2025 2nd, 2026 3rd, potentially late round swap.

GTD money not being there and years being a holdup is a much bigger deal. Really makes me rethink all the "oh their close" reports as really being stuff SF is pushing to try to drive his value up and make Omar panic into offering more. 1 minute ago, August4th said: Jerry Rice made it seem like something could get done today and in favor of the niners IDK how in touch he is with the franchise FO tho SF beat guys make it sound like he was called in to talk to Aiyuk to get to a solution. Which, if you need to GOAT to talk someone into staying you should trade him. lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Why did SF let it get to this point. Aiyuk is probably their 2nd most important piece behind Purdy on offense going forward. Deebo is starting to fall apart, Mccaffey is a older RB, and Kittle probably about to slow down. Aiyuk might be the only skill guy from this core, who'll still be elite 2-3 years from now. Aiyuk should've been locked up months ago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If true, that's a LOT of guaranteed money that SF needs to come up on. That's not even accounting for the tax adjustment from SF to Pittsburgh. The AAV between the 2 is negligible with SF offering more, but again that's not accounting for any tax adjustment. I don't see how you would give up over $25M in guaranteed money total and sign with SF if that's all accurate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warfelg Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 Quote @JFowlerESPN #Steelers remain motivated on a Brandon Aiyuk deal, but trade talks with #49ers were quiet in recent days as S.F. decides whether to extend the WR at a price point he would accept. As one source pointed out, the team is ‘one phone call away’ on deal, with parameters in place. Keep in mind Fowler is one of the MOST plugged in Steelers national media guys out there. This really feels like it's down to are the Niners going to meet Aiyuks demands and they are the ones playing games with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43M Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 This is probably the most annoying offseason player spectacle we have been involved in since all the Hines Ward drama back in 2007. I know someone will mention Antonio Brown, but that was more infuriating than annoying. This needs to end soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember there was alot of media speculation about whether we would give him a new contract and he was saying some stuff about not feeling appreciated and it seemed to drag on. Pretty sure got his contract right before preseason. This is probably worse, but I remember being really annoyed back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warfelg Posted August 14 Author Share Posted August 14 Quote 49ers & NFL News 24/7 @49ersSportsTalk WHOA: Kyle Shanahan and WR Brandon Aiyuk had more than one heated exchange during conversations over the last few weeks, per source. Is it still repairable? “Well $ talks,” source said. #49ers #Niners #FTTB Yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiyuk should've been locked up months ago They do it with every single player, just to varying degrees. Its so annoying because the 49ers inevitably cave and give in anyway. I have no idea why they approach negotiations like this. It's a horrific strategy. But Aiyuk and Deebo both demanded trades. Bosa didn't sign until there was like 3 days left before the season. Kittle and Warner both had negotiations bleed into training camp and didn't practice. Trent Williams is currently holding out and when he was first traded, he almost signed with the Chiefs because the 49ers front office wouldn't negotiate. He had to call Kyle and tell him if they didn't hurry it up, he was going to sign with KC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steeler Hitman Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Enough is enough. Trade him or move the @#$% on. I have lost patience with this process. I am too old for this $#!&. Every day and every other hour is something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
