I wouldn't be heartbroken to lose Daniels. I'd do it for Aiyuk though. I really do think he'd be a perfect player for us. All those points @bigben07MVP made about Aiyuk's game stand for me. To the fans that say "WR isn't emphasized much in Smith's offense" I'd argue that WR wasn't emphasized on our team back when Ben was young, and yet we still had Plax/Ward or Holmes/Ward. I think Smith is smart enough to figure out how to use our weapons. The 2 alpha WR in an Arthur Smith scheme is only part of it for me. The $ is an issue and the resources used to land him are in issue for me. Also, Pickens seems like the type that will want to 1 up Aiyuk's contract when his turn comes around in a year or 2. I'm on board if we don't overinvest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcash4 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 It’s a day like today that really makes me hate what blogs have done to the news and what Elon did to Twitter. Every blog has a “trust me bro” source and every tweet comes from someone who paid for a blue check mark. Okay, I’m done being an old man yelling at a cloud now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And aggregators are the worst when the post news that’s changed like an article 2-5 hours late and post it like it’s a real time update. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said we were out yesterday too. I’ll believe it when I see the NFL approve it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August4th Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 (edited) starting to think we won't have to trade that much Aiyuk. A 2nd and 5th might do it. it sounds like SF is ready to move on and Aiyuk only wants to come here. Khan knows this. This is being on the opposite end of the AB trade talks. Hopefully the end result is better for us than it was for Oakland. Edited August 7 by August4th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me he's looking for the right combo of a lot of money, going to a consistent organization that has the ability to win now. Of all of the linked franchises (aside from SF) that leaves Pittsburgh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If what he is saying is true, it must be that he is either playing the 49'ers or that he wants to play for Mike Tomlin.

So, he looks to another franchise that is willing to come up on the money AND has a chance at winning. I'm sure wanting to play for Tomlin has a lot to do with it as well.

Then why not go to the Browns? That is a playoff team that seems willing to pay him but he does not want to go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now there's some rumors out there that the offer wasn't Cooper rather it was Elijah Moore and a 3rd. So they might not have been as close as some think. And without any information on what they would offer or how they would offer it, there could be a lot of reasons. Maybe they aren't willing to meet his minimum he wants. Maybe they are off in guaranteed money. Additionally there's a lot of rumors that Kyle Shanahan kinda expects guys to roll out of be eating, breathing, living football and be all business start to finish. Though a different branch, Kevin Stefanski is part of the Mike Shanahan coaching tree. (So is Author Smith). Stefanski (interestingly) was 27th in a players survey of coaches they would want to play for: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2024/02/28/nfl-coach-rankings-2024-players-survey-team-report/72778450007/ Edited August 7 by warfelg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
