Brandon Aiyuk is signaling that the 49ers refuse to meet his asking price and have told him they don’t want him back. If that’s true, now what?
Brandon Aiyuk is signaling that the 49ers refuse to meet his asking price and have told him they don’t want him back.From Day 1, Aiyuk has wanted what Detroit paid Amon-Ra St. Brown plus a little extra. His thinking is he’s better than St. Brown and should be paid accordingly.
I would expect that the Niners will make a final offer as camp approaches, and also expect that Aiyuk won’t budge an inch. He wants what he perceives as his market value and won’t accept a penny less.The key figure here is John Lynch, who digs in for his asking price or else in trade talks and gets dial tone on his proposals for Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and Jimmy Garoppolo. If Lynch holds true to form a trade is nearly impossible.
Any other trades? Pittsburgh has made clear they want Aiyuk, but Darnell Washington and a pick won’t move Lynch. The Pittsburgh media reports all indicate the Steelers think they can leverage the contract talks to get Aiyuk on the cheap. That won’t happen with Lynch. He dug in on his asking price for Garoppolo to the detriment of the team. He’s not giving in on Aiyuk.The Chargers have a clear need at receiver but nothing available to trade. Joey Bosa on a one-year rental would not sell Lynch.
