49ers Agree to Trade Framework with Patriots and Browns Regarding WR Aiyuk

[calsnowskier]

It's Filliponi though. He's not a trustworthy source. If he's right, he's just guessing.

KNBR is essentially saying the same thing. They are emphasizing that no one else is running with this “news”.

Rumors circulating that Aiyuk to Pit is a done deal. Just ironing out the minute details.

Kinda figured that for awhile now. NE and CLE had offers SF was willing to accept and the extension Aiyuk was looking for...the deal would have been done days ago and it wasn't. He is a damn good player but I found out with OBJ, sometimes better not to trade for the diva

They can have fun with Pickens whiffing on blocks and complaining he is a #2. Good luck with that.

Interesting to see the alleged package is just a 2nd and a 5th as opposed to Cooper or Bourne and a 2nd.

If ALL they get are 2 future picks (a ‘25 pick counts as a “future pick”), that is a bad trade. The Niners are in all-in territory THIS SEASON, and trading talent-4-picks is not good in that scenario.

Fully agreed.

Which means Aiyuk was a poison pill in this whole scenario and SF felt like they had to cut bait?

Just seems like they'd be better served playing hard ball with him.

Alright Brandon how does 0 instead of 14 million sound

he,ll find it totally different than sf,especially talent wise.

I heard PIT offered James Daniels, 2nd and 5th. I guess we will see soon

I believe “winning” is important for players. But getting the scrilla is MORE important. And I can’t fault players for that. Football is a dangerous game, and their careers are SUPER short. They need to strike when the iron is hot.

Yeah at first I thought Aiyuk just wanted to get paid but it seems like a lot more than this. Last time the Browns traded for a WR with big demands it was OBJ. Maybe a blessing in disguise.

I won’t pretend that I have any idea about his quality, but the Niners have a craptastic OL, so if he starting-level, that may be a good trade.

All I know is SF should not budge on their demands bc it sounds like CLE and NE were offering much better trade packages. Just bc Aiyuk wants to go to PIT means very little.

Well...his pff was a 62 lol.

 

[calsnowskier]

Looks like Daniels is in the final year of his contract and will make about 8.5M this year (and is a starting OL). That clears about 7M for the Niners to lock in Williams.

I am not against that deal if it is the case.

It's insane cleveland got Amari for a 6th. That was a robbery.

Not sure you are grasping the level of suckage that is the Niners OL.

He is tough to evaluate.

He was a 4th option in that offense more often than not. And he certainly benefitted from coverage rolling to other players.

But at the the same time, his numbers are nuts.

People dont realize how good a 15.4 ypc average is when you also have a 70% completion percentage on the balls headed his way. That's his numbers the last 2 years. Usually to get a WR catch rate hovering around 70%, you have to do a lot more short passes and see that ypc dip into the 11-13 yard range.

But he also was EXTREMELY pedestrian once he got to the playoffs. That was my biggest knock on him and why I probably wouldnt do the deal if I was the Steelers/Browns/Pats.

You would know better than I sir. I don't recall them on my radar as a bottom five line.

from dallas at that.

It is an organizational strategy to not invest in the OL (Williams is the exception, obviously). They (right or wrong) believe that OL can handled by going through the scrapheep.
