SF screwed the pooch bc even if they get Coop + 3rd they should have done this before the draft. Amari on a 1 year deal and he is 30. I love Coop but Aiyuk is much younger and explosiveThis is huge. It would be bizarre for the Niners to trade away their best receiver when they are prime Super Bowl contenders, but if Aiyuk is not going to play for them maybe it is their only move, but I doubt he would hold out during the season.
The separation is his age and wear and tear. Getting through a long season and into the playoffs is tough. Amari didn’t have much left in the playoffs, he could barely stay on the field.Cooper makes sense because he can help them win now and while I'd take Aiyuk over Cooper there isn't that much separation between the two players.
As much as I like Aiyuk and wanted to extend him I do feel like people are overrating his value to the team. That's less of a knock on him as a player though and more the product of the offense Shanahan runs.
The reality is for the 9ers is the money he demands just can be better spent elsewhere for the team.
Cooper comes with baggage for sure but the 9ers are in win-now mode this year and Cooper is probably the best they can do to minimize the impact of losing Aiyuk for this season.The separation is his age and wear and tear.

If we are talking one game—I agree and Amari is on a one year deal. If he can stay healthy for them it gives them another great shot at a possible SB
They really don't want to trade Aiyuk and I think they were hopeful they could've gotten something worked out as most of the 9ers' big extensions are at the 11th hour. In fact it's unlikely but I wouldn't be completely shocked if they did end up working something out at the last minute now that things have gotten real.SF screwed the pooch bc even if they get Coop + 3rd they should have done this before the draft.

Gonna be whoever Aiyuk decides he wants to pay him right now.The separation is his age and wear and tear. Getting through a long season and into the playoffs is tough. Amari didn’t have much left in the playoffs, he could barely stay on the field.

This is just Pollyanna stuff. If the Niners trade Ayuik they’ve made their offense worse.Cooper makes sense because he can help them win now and while I'd take Aiyuk over Cooper there isn't that much separation between the two players.

The Niners had a deal worked out for pick 34 with the Pats and BA didn’t want to renegotiate with the Pats so Pats backed off. Based on that, unless he’s changed his mind, it’s Cleveland.Gonna be whoever Aiyuk decides he wants to pay him right now.
So it might get weird if he decides to go to the Pats. Sorry Coop we tried to get rid of you.
What the Browns need more than anything is a time machine to go back in time and not trade for Watson.as a Browns fan- I doubt this happens---- not really that much for or against it.
What the Browns need more then anything is a healthy Chubb and Watson. The defense - especially the line and the corners/safeties, is going to be extremely good.
Browns d-line and defensive backfield is loaded- and I like what they have done at linebacker. I want them to run the ball a lot and be judicious in the passing game. I think that is the best way for them to win games.
Really stupid lack of foresight on the Niners part.From what I understand is the talks were positive early on in the offseason but the WR market exploded and the numbers just became higher than what the 9ers are willing to spend and the WR market blew up right around draft time so yeah I'd rather have them gotten this deal done before the draft but I understand why they didn't.
