Does Aiyuk really step on that field on a one year deal and risk injury for 14m? This is going to get interesting.
He’s got to make it there to play at least some of the time to accrue a season.
Cousins made more money but he played three seasons with no guarantees the next season.
Definitely gambled on himself and won, but if Aiyuk goes out there and blows out his knee, he'll lose millions. I've been saying, someone is going to blink and most likely it will be Aiyuk.
depends on the value he puts on himself.but it is 14 mill.
The more likely entity to blink is S.Fran because they have more to lose on the positive side, namely a deep run into the playoff and that coveted SB win. That positive quickly becomes a negative, failed season. From Aiyuk's perspective he's in a primary lose, secondary win situation. By playing he has no guarantee of good health which would cost him millions AND no contract beyond this year that covers him in the event of an injury. His win relates to surviving the season healthy and becoming a free agent. He wins again by playing ever so briefly then having, hamstring issues, tightness in his back, perhaps even a situation where his helmet no longer fits. The creative setbacks are endless.
His contemporaries are making somewhere between 25+M to 35+M annually, I think his value has already been determined.
he,s a multi millionaire either way.
He is although he is probably only receiving about 60% of that with the rest going to taxes. Not saying Aiyuk is doing this but a lot of these players go through their money like a hot knife through butter. Remember Portis had a contract for $26 million and was broke a few years after he left the league.
portis exploited the NFL disability fund too,did,nt he?
Got you.....maybe he pulls a Trent.
sf won,t offer that ever.
Beat me to it kbos , great work
