49ers want to keep Aiyuk; Steelers trade in place
The 49ers are still trying to work out a long-term contract with Brandon Aiyuk but also have agreed to parameters of a trade that would send the WR to the Steelers, sources told ESPN.

I heard that the Steelers and 49ers have agreed to trade parameters, but the 49ers might have an offer to keep Aiyuk as well, I read it somewhere, don't recall where
Been in a bunch of places. Garofolo's latest was that 49ers and Aiyuk were close with only one major stumbling block left.

And Browns media folks are saying they're being told the trade talk was never as close as it was reported because the Browns weren't going to pay what Aiyuk wanted. Speculation is the 49ers oversold it to try to get other teams to up their offers.

Yeah, no I was being an asshole because the previous 3 or 4 posts were exactly the same thing, and not even like within a few minutes of each other, one even posting the same stuff twice

A malign star kept him
Why wouldn't he take the SF long-term deal in this instance? Isn't that what he wanted? The money can't be so low you'd scoff at it, no?

We don't know what the money/guarantees are in terms of offers or his ask.

He wants to get paid now, also he's going into a season where there's a lot of money on the line for him. If he gets injured, he's f***ed.
He wants to secure that bag

So many confusing things about this situation. The teams have supposedly been close to a trade for about a week now, but nothing's been done.
He wants money, but also wants to be on a contender. It seems SF offered him decent money from all reports, but he didn't want to take their offer. The Steelers generally don't pay receivers big money, so I'm not confident they'd have offered him a richer contract than whatever SF has, and SF is obviously much closer to contending for a Super Bowl than Pittsburgh.

Jesus how long is this going to drag on?
At this point if i'm San Fran i'm trying to get the more pressing of the two holdouts done in Trent Williams. We haven't seen what the Niners offense looks like with Aiyuk but with the weapons they have it would probably be a smooth transition. We have however seen what happens if Williams goes down with injury, and the difference is pretty stark.

Honestly SF should just ignore him at this point
He had chance to leave via trade and get his big $ and refused
SF should simply tell him to f*** off at this point

Trent Williams high maintenance lifestyle gonna f*** him up if he don’t get that monster contract.
As for Aiyuk, he wants the cheddar now.

Take care of Williams and tell Aiyuk pound salt unless overwhelmed by trade offer. 49ers can non exclusive tag him next year.

It is typically the skilled positions or those who make the hi-lites that typically get into trouble with money/lifestyle. Don't really see that with OL. He could make $30 mill per in each of the next 2 seasons, but unless he changes his ways, that will be gone before he hits 50.
SF is going to ultimately get something done with Trent. he knows that they need him more than Aiyuk.

I think the Lamb contract is an interesting wrench. SF isn't paying him that money, and it sounds like he thinks that's the money he deserves. But what other team is trading for him only to turn around and pay him that kind of money?
The problem with that thinking is Lamb legit one of the best WRs in the game. I'm not saying Aiyuk is a plug or anything, but he's on a team where he at some points is the third option with how they like to deploy McCaffery all over the field.
teams aren't giving you #1 WR money when you haven't been a true #1
No other club has a McCaffery. Closest was Kamara and then maybe Cook at their peak. That's just the way SF runs their Offense. Kittle, unlike Kelce isn't the first option either.
At this point though, if I'm SF, I'd tell Aiyuk, time to make up your mind. This is our final offer. You can still take the trade to those other clubs, assuming any are still on the table. SF just needs to make up their mind and give the ultimatum. This much to stay here, otherwise, you should take the trade elsewhere. No point in you missing game checks.
