If your team had a top 20 receiver on a 5th year option that he signed. With franchise tags to follow up that 5th year would you have that same energy. As a 9ers fan since I was 7 I'm glad they are handling it this way. Hope they don't refund any fines levied on him as well.
They hold all the cards! They have Aiyuk for at least 3 years if they want to! 5th year option, and can tag him twice! They have final say, but they also don’t have the cap space with Purdy due too and all the other big deals they’ve signed the past couple of years.
Idk how you get to that point 🤣 they let him pick and choose where to go as a player under contract. How many organizations you know of that will do that for a player under contract? They done more than they should have and he’s gonna come crawling back. You don’t easily give away stars. You should try to keep them. Dumb take

How is he an entitled brat? BA was just as Important to their SB run as anyone else on the team. They don’t want to pay him what other teams will pay him but also want other teams to give up a shit ton in a trade? The 49ers are being entitled brats.

Steelers called the 49ers bluff and the Aiyuk did too. So now it’s time to settle you expectations and get something instead of losing him in free agency. They need the money to extend Trent Williams anyways.
There is no bluff. What bluff. They own his rights for 3 years. They think he is worth 26 million. The only party getting played here is Aiyuk. He bit off more than he can chew. If he sits out he gets fined. If he sits out the entire year he has to fulfill his 5th year option next year. The 49ers have him by the balls. And to add to it. If the Steelers want him. They have to pay the asking price or they will never get him. There’s no bluff here.
There is a bluff. Niners wanted 2 1st rounders and a player before the draft and nobody bit. He was way more valuable before the draft than he is now. This has been going on since last season ended. Would of costed Pittsburgh way more than it would now. @kurtisviktor3314
Dude is under contract. 49ers don’t have to anything. If he doesn’t want to play he can sit out the whole season then see what teams will pay him after his deal expires.
@@robf1648Why do that? They have a 2-3 year window to win. If he doesn’t want to be there just move on from him. Keeping him will be more distractions for a team that has a very legitimate chance of winning the Superbowl
Niners can offer him like Pittsburgh, but his agent isn’t dumb. Taxes in California vs. Pennsylvania big difference. 28m in Cali after taxes equals 22m per year. 28m in Pa. Equals 26m after taxes. Hmmm 4m more per year, do the math! What would you do?
Not live in the arm pit of America in Pittsburgh with a broken QB room, an offensive coordinator who couldn’t get the ball to Drake London and Kyle Pitts, and a franchise that can’t get to a conference championship game. Yea I’d rather be on an offense with a top 3 play caller that is top 3 every year in almost all offensive categories, with 4 All Pros as my teammates on offense / A top 5 defense / and a team that has been to 4 of the last 5 NFC Championship games. And I’ll take $26 million a year for that opportunity happily.
@@szn1580Steelers were his 3rd choice. He has always wanted to stay with the 49ers...he just wants paid. 49ers don't have to trade him, and if they do, it sets a bad precedent for other players to force themselves into FA when they are under contract

@@strawberryreacts9585I never said Steelers were better than Niners bro lmao you just reading what you want to hear If Niners don’t want to pay him then he wants out. All I’m saying Steelers is a solid choice. They got the money too after getting fields and Russ for a bag of tortilla chips, still having their RB1 and WR1 on rookie deals and a young cheap offense. It makes sense bro
Niners lowballed him at first and now paying for it. Could have traded him before the draft, received a first round pick, drafted a OL and WR. Pearsall was a stretch for a first round pick.
They still have the power really. He has one year left on his contract, plus they can tag him twice. If they wanted to, they could force him to stay for 3 years. They should've traded him before the draft , but they really do have all the power
Low balled a guy who has had 1 really good year... I think BA is a top 15 receiver but 26 mil at the time wasn't a low ball. Don't be a hindsight merchant.
Nobody is holding the team up other than the front office. They fully control his contract. The 49ers have a duty to make the team better, that Cleveland trade would make them better and they blew it because they need Aiyuk more. They should have sent him in a heartbeat, instead the 49ers look unreasonable trying to make Aiyuk look any way in their quest to not look like they really really want Aiyuk.
@@robf1648 Do you really think Aiyuk will refuse to sign a contract that pays him $30+M/year. With a new team, it would be sign, or get fined $50k every single practice/team day. Be the 5th richest WR in the NFL or get fined into oblivion
@@D-Harb That's what he has said. There are a lot of NFL players that make bad choices. He may be one. But if he refuses to sign with a new team in a trade deal....... It's just something I'm sure they don't want to deal with.
Bro cant hide that he’s close with Shanahan😂 chastizin Aiyuk and saying he should stay. If he’s holding team hostage the damage is done , he’s gotta go. Steelers know that
This exactly correct. He is under contract. This is according to his union and the CBA they signed. BA is free to do whatever he wants... its just there are some pretty dire consequences to his actions. Loss of money both now and possibly on future contracts. So what's it gonna be Brandon?????
Aiyuk wants to be paid AND be on a SB contending team. If it’s not the 49ers, he wants to go to Pitt because the defense is already at that level. He knows theyre just an good offense away
They also don’t need to negotiate as hard. Aiyuk wants more money, but the niners don’t absolutely need Aiyuk. They’re certainly better with him, but they’re still a SB favorite without him. If anything, the niners are doing Aiyuk a solid simply by entertaining this tantrum that he’s throwing.
@@aypex05 If NE was offering a first (which we don't know), then that's probably a top 10 pick, so that's great value into next year. The deal with Cleveland seemed pretty fair because Amari Cooper would probably replace BA's catches (but not the other parts of his game), and the Niners could do a lot with a 2nd and a 5th. I don't think the Niners feel pressured to give Aiyuk to the Steelers for less than they think he's worth in trade value.
Aiyuk has every right to demand what his labor is worth. The NFL prevents their employees (ie; the players) from finding a better paying job and employer. The York family can afford to pay him. It's stupid that they are digging in their heels. Down with management! Up with labor! Union power! It's anti-american to tell a person they shouldn't pursue the best income they can get.
That's why the Steelers have the saying, we want volunteers not hostages! We learnt from Leveon and AB and they ended up losing. Steelers the best franchise in the NFL
I can't wrap my head around why the Steelers are even interested. They have a better wr that they need to pay soon. Are they really going to pay 2 wrs 30 mil/yr?
Probably to pair them for a few years before cutting Aiyuk or flipping him for low trade comp. I dont understand that trade for them when they dont have a qb.
We can all do woulda, couda, shouda 'til the cows come. If BA can't see taking less than the top for the good of the team, he won't stay a Niner. He needs to understand they still have to extend TW & pay Purdy next year. There's only so much cap space.
I think that they thought they had it taken care of. I believe Brandon had a number in mind.. the niners offered it.. then he saw what everyone else was getting and decided he wanted more. Kind of a douch bag move if you ask me.
I agree that the 49ers should accept the Steelers offer and then go find a receiver. Not the best position to be in, but Aiyuk is now starting to hurt the 49ers and it is time to move on. He was offered $32 mil from the Patriots and turned it down. Not sure what he was offered by the Browns, but he turned it down. Clearly he wants his cake and eat it too. But as the Cowboys and 49ers know, you can't win championships and pay everybody "What they are worth". A team like the Patriots can pay him more, because they are not a championship team. Fact is that both Lamb and Aiyuk are UNDER contract and are not being honorable. It is one thing to force a holdout under contract and another thing to be a free agent.
You can’t pay everyone 30m+ all at once. He is the youngest and will have to wait til next year when they move kittle, CMC and maybe deebo in spring 25. The only way to know true value is to get him the targets ( and double coverages) and that will only happen on a different team with a far different qb.
WR is the third option in the Arthur Smith offense. Why the hell would you trade anything more than a mid round pick let alone pay 30 million per season lol. Let the 49ers eat it and keep a disgruntled diva receiver to disrupt a Super Bowl caliber team and ultimately get nothing for him…
Unless the Steelers get some crazy deal like they did for Fields, and Wilson, essentially peanuts, Aaiyuk simply won't become a Steeler. They are not going to throw big money like he wants. I mean in the last say 30 years, they have only extended contracts with pretty much AB, who would have finished his career as a Steeler if he had not flaked, and Hines Ward. And there have been some great players like Holmes, who pretty much won SB43, and many more that they just didn't keep.
@@Steelfan-oe7ok You think? what about Randel El, N Washington, Mike Wallace, E Sanders, M Bryant, JuJu, J Washington, And more, these guys could ball, Why not keep them for money? because the Steelers usually don't do that. Like I said. Again, now way the Steelers throw big money to get Aiyuk, other than a peanuts deal.
@@wraith1117 Bryant and Juju they were never paying for obvious reasons. They really didn't need Sanders and Randle El wasn't deserving of being paid. Nate also never did anything to earn being paid. James Washington not being on a roster speaks for itself so maybe Wallace should've been paid but nine of them did more than Hilmes if you think about it
Simms being a simp for Shanahan and the 9ers. What's new. If you're tired of this crap blame the 9ers. It's not the first or last time they've done this to a player.
This all stems from the NFLPA being the weakest union in US sports. Teams get 5 or 6 (theoretically 8) years of control over players in a league where the average career length is 3.3 years. That's insanity. The players need to fight for a system where they can hit free agency much earlier. Not even mentioning the elephant in the room with guaranteed money. I'm a Steelers fan, they'd obviously be better with him on the squad, but I won't be broken up if this falls through
If he comes back and does what he has been doing, fans will forget all about this super fast. There will always be a few folks who will complain, but those people are going to be complaining anyways because it's all they ever do.
Everyone wants to be paid including the coaches and owners. Understand the NFL is a multibillion dollar industry. You would want max dollars too. And I'm a 49ers fan
Wanting and getting are two different things. They have the money. Doesn't mean they just have to automatically give it away because a player demands it.
49ers spent a first on Aiyuk in the draft. Developed him into a top 15 receiver and want compensation equal to their original cost. They offered 26+ million on a new contract. Time to tell him we are not trading you. You can sit out and lose this years 14 million on the 5th year option and be right here next season,or you can sign our offer. Stop coddling him. Play or sit the choice is his.
But they pay gadget players like Debo and pay Kittle to block all game. On top of that you drafted a rookie who been injured 4 times before the season start.
3rd & a 5th AT MOST.. Khan isn't stupid. He's not gonna overpay for a guy that the 49ers dont want to pay 25+mill/year & is the 4th offensive option. Hell, he'd be the 3rd option on the Steelers behind Najee & GP, especially in a run heavy offense.
Well that’s a pretty stupid take, Russell would be throwing to him 2/3 plays every set of downs. Run heavy nothing, why would they get him and he’s not a serious workhorse
I don’t understand why owners don’t call these whiney players’ bluffs all the time!! Like, “Oh you want more money and you’re not gunna suit up until you get paid more?? Ok I’ll go find someone who will play for your same salary and like it, bye!! Good luck finding another team with that greedy attitude I’ve got hundreds of other talented guys ready to play in your spot and they’re asking for half as much money, so see ya later”
Because the team he would be going to want to have a contract signed at the same time they give up assets for that player so they don't have to go through the same garbage the 49ers are going through. Why trade for a headache if you don't have to?
Steeler fan here...if he ends up with Pitt, the 9ers will have to pay for half of 30 mil at least. Steelers never overpay. Even Bens contracts werent back breaking.
So the Niners are going to trade a player who is under contract this season (a player that they could also franchise tag next season too) to a team that isn’t going to offer them the trade package they want AND they are going to pay the Steelers for the privilege of doing business with them. Right…
sounds like the 49ers don't believe in Ricky might I remind you their 1st round draft pick which usually means their a day 1 starter but.... what do I know right im just a "fan"
Brandon Aiyuk,,, just like Lamar Jackson is learning his value to other teams is not as high as he thought, so yeah he will go back to the 49er's begging...
Browns dodged a bullet. I get the idea down the road having the wr locked up, but I dont see how this guy is worth around 30 million. Good talent, not great, not a super star or transcendent talent. The fact a team offered 32 million, he should have takent that and enjoy that generational wealth.
@@philbuck365not really... They will get fields on a cheaper deal or draft sanders if people sleeping and let him fall lol. Money is coming off the books next season. They will have money.
Aiyuk wants his 30M he knows this will be his last big pay and he won't ever go to a super bowl. But the bottom line is financial security is more important for his family.
Why would he want to go to Pittsburgh. QB below average, it would make his career below average. Not gonna happen. Job suicide. He will take less maybe 2 million a year less to be in a better offense...Steeler haven't prove crap the last 8 years.
He turned down a boat load of money. Thats crazy for a guy thats not a super star. I get turning down NE due to qb, but fella that was 32+ million a year with all the targets you can dream of. Oh you want to get paid and win, well Clev offered you that. Steelers dont have a better qb situation than anyone available. I've never seen a player ever tweet at a coach before while trying to get paid. He's gonna stay a niner, unless he has a change of heart. Going to be interesting to see if he gets paid because they dont have to pay him. He's not going to give up game checks. Sure he could become a headache but they have you by the nuts. You were given a way out and said no. No sympathy for him or his wallet under Bidenomics.
The only person that can be wrong more than the weatherman and still keep his job. Mike Florio and his SIDEKICK I wish I didn't suck at football Simms.
We paid a worthless jimmy g but won’t pay Ba this is crazy and we paid worthless armstead over Buckner Kyle shouldn’t be head coach hire bill and make Kyle focus on calling offensive plays
Niners could be waiting to see if any receivers on other teams get injured, opening an opportunity for a more viable trade. Steelers have nothing to offer.
They’re also not motivated to trade Aiyuk. They’re still SB contenders without him and worst case scenario is he sits out his 5th year and saves them a bunch of money.
@@matthewlowry776 they have him on his rookie contract which is only worth about $14m, plus, every regular season game he misses the niners can fine him over $800k per game, which means for the whole season, the niners would only owe him around $1.5m of the 14 he was guaranteed if he played. So no, it wouldn’t hurt the niners financially. If anything, it would essentially ruin Aiyuks chances of ever getting a big contract for the rest of his career. Nearly the exact same thing happened to Le’Veon Bell.
Start the fines and push for the trade to Cleveland or let him sit out a year. Tag him next year and see where that goes. Hopefully some of these younger guys step up.
That would be the dumbest trade of all time that’s 100% not happening. The only reason we want aiyuk is because we don’t have a wr 2 and getting rid of Pickens would put us in the same situation we was in before the trade and than we would be paying someone 30mill for someone that we be giving the same production as someone who is way cheaper
@@fruke2629 i honestly feel like Pickens ceiling is being the best WR in the league so personally I wouldn’t do that trade but I’d luv to have both of them together on the Steelers
@@givenchyhendrix7422 yea I definitely see him having top 5 wide receiver potential, but will the the Steelers have a quarterback and scheme to showcase that he is on that level. Because if he was on the team like the chiefs when they have the best quarterback and have a passing scheme he would definitely put up like 1700 yards.
You're on a football news and analysis channel proclaiming your apathy for football news and analysis What are you doing for the children besides bitching?
this is quickly turning into an all time bag fumble. At this point the steelers cant give him anything above 22m and the pats had a 32m a year offer on the table
They can sign BA and restructure other contracts to give him around the 30m he’s looking for. But while the noise is loud for a WR2, they’re comfortable with their WR room so they’re not willing to give up a big name in a trade. I’d honestly be surprised if a deal got done in Pittsburgh.
@@iKoniqsthey were pretty close to a deal. This is just speculation, but after they niners and Aiyuk went back into negotiations late last week, I read it as what the Steelers were offering Aiyuk was close to what the niners were offering, probably a bit more, but close. Aiyuk would rather stay on the niners and what he may be doing is negotiating a contract that perhaps guarantees less more, but offers more in incentives.
#1 HE'S NOT EVEN A TOP 10 WR. #2 HEs NOT A NUMBER ONE CALIBER WR. #3 IF IT WERE ABOUT MONEY AND CAREER, WHY DIDN'T HE LEAVE INSTEAD OF BEING PICKY. #4 HEs NOW THE PROBLEM, NOT THE 49ERS. #5 GET THE HELL OUT OF SAN FRAN, WE DON'T NEED YOU. LASTLY, ANYONE WHO DISAGREES... ANSWER THIS. WOULD YOU TAKE HIM OVER THE OTHER TOP 10 WRs?
No one is holding dude hostage. We own his rights cause he signed a contract per the CBA 5th year option. He's not a restricted free agent that can negotiate a contract with another team then demand that the contract be matched by his current team. Damn Aiyuk let him stew in his mess sit out miss money come back after 11 games then get franchised next year then get traded
Yeah, if you sign a contract and then say you're not going to honor your contract until you get a new one, who is holding who hostage? He asked for a trade and the Niners found two options that would satisfy his monetary demands while also providing the Niners value, but he rejected both options. The Niners generally don't make emotional business decisions where they give up value to make things easier on themselves because that just teaches players that they can act like Antonio Brown and get what you want. There will likely come a point where the Niners just give him the option to play or sit, and then they'll move on either way. Keep in mind, if he sits the whole regular season, he's still on his option because the year doesn't count, and his willingness to do so will make other teams question whether they want to invest in him.
Mike florio makes the most sense. 49ers have trade Brandon to the Steelers and get maybe a 3rd and a 5th and then trade for whatever else they need from another team
No they actually don't. BA is under contract for the 5th year option. If he doesn't play then he loses massive amounts of money and he can affect his future contract with other teams. If he becomes a free agent next year do you think there are going to be teams like NE bidding for his services??? Less teams in the bidding process means a lower contract. Also for some reason BA thinks he is a free agent. Nope. The do not have to trade him to Pittsburgh.. If they do it will set an incredibly bad precedent for other negotiations.
they don't think he worth 30M a year and don't think he is top 10 receiver but they want your trade package to be on that level. Got it
The niners agreed to trades frameworks from 3 teams. It was Aiyuk that turned the trades down.

Steelers called the 49ers bluff and the Aiyuk did too. So now it’s time to settle you expectations and get something instead of losing him in free agency. They need the money to extend Trent Williams anyways.
There is no bluff. What bluff. They own his rights for 3 years. They think he is worth 26 million. The only party getting played here is Aiyuk. He bit off more than he can chew. If he sits out he gets fined. If he sits out the entire year he has to fulfill his 5th year option next year. The 49ers have him by the balls. And to add to it. If the Steelers want him. They have to pay the asking price or they will never get him. There’s no bluff here.
There is a bluff. Niners wanted 2 1st rounders and a player before the draft and nobody bit. He was way more valuable before the draft than he is now. This has been going on since last season ended. Would of costed Pittsburgh way more than it would now. @kurtisviktor3314
Is this PFT or Unbuttoned? 😂 Glad the boys are back.
Dude is under contract. 49ers don’t have to anything. If he doesn’t want to play he can sit out the whole season then see what teams will pay him after his deal expires.
but then he just walks away and the 9ers got nothing that’s an L for them
No. They can franchise tag him. They can be dickheads too.
@@robf1648Why do that? They have a 2-3 year window to win. If he doesn’t want to be there just move on from him. Keeping him will be more distractions for a team that has a very legitimate chance of winning the Superbowl
If he doesn't play his contract doesn't expire. It rolls over. Just moves the remainder of his contract to whenever he plays again.
@@givenchyhendrix7422 Players come and go Everday.
Niners can offer him like Pittsburgh, but his agent isn’t dumb. Taxes in California vs. Pennsylvania big difference. 28m in Cali after taxes equals 22m per year. 28m in Pa. Equals 26m after taxes. Hmmm 4m more per year, do the math! What would you do?
Not live in the arm pit of America in Pittsburgh with a broken QB room, an offensive coordinator who couldn’t get the ball to Drake London and Kyle Pitts, and a franchise that can’t get to a conference championship game.
Yea I’d rather be on an offense with a top 3 play caller that is top 3 every year in almost all offensive categories, with 4 All Pros as my teammates on offense / A top 5 defense / and a team that has been to 4 of the last 5 NFC Championship games. And I’ll take $26 million a year for that opportunity happily.
This is happening bcuz Aiyuk wants to play for the Steelers Plain & Simple if the 9ers didn’t pay him. Aiyuk is a perfect Fit in Pittsburgh ✅✅
He said it himself
@@szn1580Steelers were his 3rd choice. He has always wanted to stay with the 49ers...he just wants paid.
49ers don't have to trade him, and if they do, it sets a bad precedent for other players to force themselves into FA when they are under contract
@@strawberryreacts9585he’s saying whatever his agent tells him to say in public. He named Steelers third which doesn’t mean it’s his THIRD choice
I mean Pittsburgh makes so much sense. Tomlin is a winning coach, an entirely new offensive regime that can work to his strengths. Niners is a good fit as well but Steelers is still on the table
@@szn1580 yeah the niners aren't a winning organization with a better offensive playcaller that maximizes every players skills.
His personal wr coach has said multiple times all offseason...he wants to stay in SF, he just wants paid. Steelers fans are delusional if they think he would prefer the Steelers over the 49ers. 🙄
@@strawberryreacts9585I never said Steelers were better than Niners bro lmao you just reading what you want to hear
If Niners don’t want to pay him then he wants out. All I’m saying Steelers is a solid choice. They got the money too after getting fields and Russ for a bag of tortilla chips, still having their RB1 and WR1 on rookie deals and a young cheap offense. It makes sense bro
Niners lowballed him at first and now paying for it. Could have traded him before the draft, received a first round pick, drafted a OL and WR. Pearsall was a stretch for a first round pick.
This. The 9ers fucked up
They still have the power really. He has one year left on his contract, plus they can tag him twice. If they wanted to, they could force him to stay for 3 years. They should've traded him before the draft , but they really do have all the power
Low balled a guy who has had 1 really good year... I think BA is a top 15 receiver but 26 mil at the time wasn't a low ball. Don't be a hindsight merchant.
Nobody is holding the team up other than the front office.
They fully control his contract.
The 49ers have a duty to make the team better, that Cleveland trade would make them better and they blew it because they need Aiyuk more. They should have sent him in a heartbeat, instead the 49ers look unreasonable trying to make Aiyuk look any way in their quest to not look like they really really want Aiyuk.
chat he said no
Aiyuk turned the trade offers down. And the niners are still a SB favorite without Aiyuk.
You haven't a clue. He has to also accept the trade for it to work. They need to start fining him and be done with this bs.
@@robf1648 Do you really think Aiyuk will refuse to sign a contract that pays him $30+M/year. With a new team, it would be sign, or get fined $50k every single practice/team day. Be the 5th richest WR in the NFL or get fined into oblivion
@@D-Harb That's what he has said. There are a lot of NFL players that make bad choices. He may be one. But if he refuses to sign with a new team in a trade deal....... It's just something I'm sure they don't want to deal with.
49’s are playing games. I hope they get stuck with him and he holds out for the season and it comes back to haunt their cheap ass
Shanahan had Julio Jones as his #1 he dont value aiyuk in the same manner so why would he pay 30 million
Bro cant hide that he’s close with Shanahan😂 chastizin Aiyuk and saying he should stay. If he’s holding team hostage the damage is done , he’s gotta go. Steelers know that
Ya just can’t pay a player who’s the 4th option and he gets coverage like he’s the 4th. All other teams know he’s not a 1.
The 49ers dont have to do anything Florio. He has no leverage at all.
This exactly correct. He is under contract. This is according to his union and the CBA they signed. BA is free to do whatever he wants... its just there are some pretty dire consequences to his actions. Loss of money both now and possibly on future contracts. So what's it gonna be Brandon?????
Not true at all. They both have leverage and that’s why it’s playing out this way
Aiyuk wants to be paid AND be on a SB contending team. If it’s not the 49ers, he wants to go to Pitt because the defense is already at that level. He knows theyre just an good offense away
Why even give him away .He's under contract guys. He can play or wasteca year.dont give him away. no reason to
Getting picks ain't giving away lol. Lose him for nothing...
Send him on his way.
& dont let the door hit u on the way OUT.
Y’all have to accept our package of a 3rd and 4th round pick first lol
49ers are stubborn and won’t take a trade for 75 cents on the dollar. (ie Jimmy G 2 years ago)
They were prepared to take trade offers from NE, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Aiyuk turned them down.
They also don’t need to negotiate as hard. Aiyuk wants more money, but the niners don’t absolutely need Aiyuk. They’re certainly better with him, but they’re still a SB favorite without him. If anything, the niners are doing Aiyuk a solid simply by entertaining this tantrum that he’s throwing.
@@aypex05 If NE was offering a first (which we don't know), then that's probably a top 10 pick, so that's great value into next year. The deal with Cleveland seemed pretty fair because Amari Cooper would probably replace BA's catches (but not the other parts of his game), and the Niners could do a lot with a 2nd and a 5th. I don't think the Niners feel pressured to give Aiyuk to the Steelers for less than they think he's worth in trade value.
@@proteuswest1084haha no chance the patriots offered a first next year. That's laughable
@@aypex05he didn’t turn down Pittsburgh lol
Aiyuk has every right to demand what his labor is worth. The NFL prevents their employees (ie; the players) from finding a better paying job and employer. The York family can afford to pay him. It's stupid that they are digging in their heels.
Down with management! Up with labor! Union power! It's anti-american to tell a person they shouldn't pursue the best income they can get.
That's why the Steelers have the saying, we want volunteers not hostages! We learnt from Leveon and AB and they ended up losing. Steelers the best franchise in the NFL
If he makes 28 million a year in Pennsylvania, he will see more 2 million dollars more per year than he would in California
He’s not going anywhere. It’s obvious that the Steelers are not going to meet the Niners trade demands so the deal is just not gonna happen.
I can't wrap my head around why the Steelers are even interested. They have a better wr that they need to pay soon. Are they really going to pay 2 wrs 30 mil/yr?
Probably to pair them for a few years before cutting Aiyuk or flipping him for low trade comp. I dont understand that trade for them when they dont have a qb.
@@DK-BayBaythe Steelers qbs are a lot better than last year, and as an OC, Arthur Smith will help them tremendously.
Something that should have been Taking care of before it got to this point
We can all do woulda, couda, shouda 'til the cows come. If BA can't see taking less than the top for the good of the team, he won't stay a Niner. He needs to understand they still have to extend TW & pay Purdy next year. There's only so much cap space.
I think that they thought they had it taken care of. I believe Brandon had a number in mind.. the niners offered it.. then he saw what everyone else was getting and decided he wanted more. Kind of a douch bag move if you ask me.
I agree that the 49ers should accept the Steelers offer and then go find a receiver. Not the best position to be in, but Aiyuk is now starting to hurt the 49ers and it is time to move on. He was offered $32 mil from the Patriots and turned it down. Not sure what he was offered by the Browns, but he turned it down. Clearly he wants his cake and eat it too. But as the Cowboys and 49ers know, you can't win championships and pay everybody "What they are worth". A team like the Patriots can pay him more, because they are not a championship team. Fact is that both Lamb and Aiyuk are UNDER contract and are not being honorable. It is one thing to force a holdout under contract and another thing to be a free agent.
You can’t pay everyone 30m+ all at once. He is the youngest and will have to wait til next year when they move kittle, CMC and maybe deebo in spring 25. The only way to know true value is to get him the targets ( and double coverages) and that will only happen on a different team with a far different qb.
49ers have all the power here, if he wont play he will void his 14,1m and then they can tag him next year and he is stuck at the same place.
WR is the third option in the Arthur Smith offense. Why the hell would you trade anything more than a mid round pick let alone pay 30 million per season lol. Let the 49ers eat it and keep a disgruntled diva receiver to disrupt a Super Bowl caliber team and ultimately get nothing for him…
Crazy how people will hold the players accountable but never the teams smh
Send him home until they get a deal or trade him. No reason for him to be around. They should have traded him at the draft.
Lynch dropped the ball 🏈
Why pay a wr 30 mil and have no QB to throw him the ball?
Unless the Steelers get some crazy deal like they did for Fields, and Wilson, essentially peanuts, Aaiyuk simply won't become a Steeler. They are not going to throw big money like he wants. I mean in the last say 30 years, they have only extended contracts with pretty much AB, who would have finished his career as a Steeler if he had not flaked, and Hines Ward. And there have been some great players like Holmes, who pretty much won SB43, and many more that they just didn't keep.
They would've payed Holmes had he kept his life straight
And they will get him cheap as fuck. The Steelers do this all the time. Aiyuk to Pittsburgh for a 5th rounder in 2025.
@@Steelfan-oe7ok You think? what about Randel El, N Washington, Mike Wallace, E Sanders, M Bryant, JuJu, J Washington, And more, these guys could ball, Why not keep them for money? because the Steelers usually don't do that. Like I said.
Again, now way the Steelers throw big money to get Aiyuk, other than a peanuts deal.
@@kimblandino With receivers?
@@wraith1117 Bryant and Juju they were never paying for obvious reasons. They really didn't need Sanders and Randle El wasn't deserving of being paid. Nate also never did anything to earn being paid. James Washington not being on a roster speaks for itself so maybe Wallace should've been paid but nine of them did more than Hilmes if you think about it
Simms being a simp for Shanahan and the 9ers. What's new. If you're tired of this crap blame the 9ers. It's not the first or last time they've done this to a player.
This all stems from the NFLPA being the weakest union in US sports. Teams get 5 or 6 (theoretically 8) years of control over players in a league where the average career length is 3.3 years. That's insanity. The players need to fight for a system where they can hit free agency much earlier. Not even mentioning the elephant in the room with guaranteed money.
I'm a Steelers fan, they'd obviously be better with him on the squad, but I won't be broken up if this falls through
BA is so hated even if he comes back at this point....
If he comes back and does what he has been doing, fans will forget all about this super fast. There will always be a few folks who will complain, but those people are going to be complaining anyways because it's all they ever do.
Everyone wants to be paid including the coaches and owners. Understand the NFL is a multibillion dollar industry. You would want max dollars too. And I'm a 49ers fan
Wanting and getting are two different things. They have the money. Doesn't mean they just have to automatically give it away because a player demands it.
None of them players saying anything like that Chris 😂😂😂
49ers spent a first on Aiyuk in the draft. Developed him into a top 15 receiver and want compensation equal to their original cost. They offered 26+ million on a new contract. Time to tell him we are not trading you. You can sit out and lose this years 14 million on the 5th year option and be right here next season,or you can sign our offer. Stop coddling him. Play or sit the choice is his.
But they pay gadget players like Debo and pay Kittle to block all game. On top of that you drafted a rookie who been injured 4 times before the season start.
Not for both day two picks and 30 million... hell naw, not fucking up our money for one player.
What is wrong with simms yelling this sounds awful
3rd & a 5th AT MOST.. Khan isn't stupid. He's not gonna overpay for a guy that the 49ers dont want to pay 25+mill/year & is the 4th offensive option. Hell, he'd be the 3rd option on the Steelers behind Najee & GP, especially in a run heavy offense.
Well that’s a pretty stupid take, Russell would be throwing to him 2/3 plays every set of downs. Run heavy nothing, why would they get him and he’s not a serious workhorse
Kyle and Brandon never got along

@@jumpstreet2425 good
Why does Aiyuk have any say in where he gets traded? He doesn't have a no trade clause i thought
Because the team he would be going to want to have a contract signed at the same time they give up assets for that player so they don't have to go through the same garbage the 49ers are going through. Why trade for a headache if you don't have to?
Steeler fan here...if he ends up with Pitt, the 9ers will have to pay for half of 30 mil at least. Steelers never overpay. Even Bens contracts werent back breaking.
So the Niners are going to trade a player who is under contract this season (a player that they could also franchise tag next season too) to a team that isn’t going to offer them the trade package they want AND they are going to pay the Steelers for the privilege of doing business with them. Right…

People in the comments are mad players have the power haha
Why would he want to go to Pittsburgh. QB below average, it would make his career below average. Not gonna happen. Job suicide. He will take less maybe 2 million a year less to be in a better offense...Steeler haven't prove crap the last 8 years.
He turned down a boat load of money. Thats crazy for a guy thats not a super star. I get turning down NE due to qb, but fella that was 32+ million a year with all the targets you can dream of. Oh you want to get paid and win, well Clev offered you that. Steelers dont have a better qb situation than anyone available. I've never seen a player ever tweet at a coach before while trying to get paid. He's gonna stay a niner, unless he has a change of heart. Going to be interesting to see if he gets paid because they dont have to pay him. He's not going to give up game checks. Sure he could become a headache but they have you by the nuts.

Niners could be waiting to see if any receivers on other teams get injured, opening an opportunity for a more viable trade. Steelers have nothing to offer.
They’re also not motivated to trade Aiyuk. They’re still SB contenders without him and worst case scenario is he sits out his 5th year and saves them a bunch of money.
@@aypex05that just hurts them losing a player for the year and not getting anything for him
Only so many teams will give you a big return AND pay someone $30 million immediately. Maybe no teams.
@@matthewlowry776 they have him on his rookie contract which is only worth about $14m, plus, every regular season game he misses the niners can fine him over $800k per game, which means for the whole season, the niners would only owe him around $1.5m of the 14 he was guaranteed if he played. So no, it wouldn’t hurt the niners financially. If anything, it would essentially ruin Aiyuks chances of ever getting a big contract for the rest of his career.

You're on a football news and analysis channel proclaiming your apathy for football news and analysis
What are you doing for the children besides bitching?
Lately, I've been thinking Aiyuk will probably stay with S.F.
He’s the one getting hit by 250 pound guys
this is quickly turning into an all time bag fumble. At this point the steelers cant give him anything above 22m and the pats had a 32m a year offer on the table
They can sign BA and restructure other contracts to give him around the 30m he’s looking for. But while the noise is loud for a WR2, they’re comfortable with their WR room so they’re not willing to give up a big name in a trade. I’d honestly be surprised if a deal got done in Pittsburgh.
@@iKoniqsthey were pretty close to a deal. This is just speculation, but after they niners and Aiyuk went back into negotiations late last week, I read it as what the Steelers were offering Aiyuk was close to what the niners were offering, probably a bit more, but close. Aiyuk would rather stay on the niners and what he may be doing is negotiating a contract that perhaps guarantees less more, but offers more in incentives.
Steelers offered more... 28- up to 29/30 with rewards
I would just release him now he doesn't want to take the money he doesn't want to take it to trade just released his fool and get rid of him now

This isn't the NBA, no player should be able to hold a team hostage in any way.

LASTLY, ANYONE WHO DISAGREES... ANSWER THIS. WOULD YOU TAKE HIM OVER THE OTHER TOP 10 WRs?
They’re holding him hostage. He doesn’t want to go to a team in a full rebuild just for the money either.
No one is holding dude hostage. We own his rights cause he signed a contract per the CBA 5th year option. He's not a restricted free agent that can negotiate a contract with another team then demand that the contract be matched by his current team. Damn Aiyuk let him stew in his mess sit out miss money come back after 11 games then get franchised next year then get traded
I agree with Cedric. He’s under contract. Period.
I think u mean he's holding the team hostage ? They don't even have to let him seek trade offers yet they are letting him
Yeah, if you sign a contract and then say you're not going to honor your contract until you get a new one, who is holding who hostage? He asked for a trade and the Niners found two options that would satisfy his monetary demands while also providing the Niners value, but he rejected both options. The Niners generally don't make emotional business decisions where they give up value to make things easier on themselves because that just teaches players that they can act like Antonio Brown and get what you want. There will likely come a point where the Niners just give him the option to play or sit, and then they'll move on either way. Keep in mind, if he sits the whole regular season, he's still on his option because the year doesn't count, and his willingness to do so will make other teams question whether they want to invest in him.
oh please he could go to the Browns who is a more complete team than my Steelers.. I dont want such a distraction
Mike florio makes the most sense.
49ers have trade Brandon to the Steelers and get maybe a 3rd and a 5th and then trade for whatever else they need from another team
No they actually don't. BA is under contract for the 5th year option. If he doesn't play then he loses massive amounts of money and he can affect his future contract with other teams. If he becomes a free agent next year do you think there are going to be teams like NE bidding for his services??? Less teams in the bidding process means a lower contract. Also for some reason BA thinks he is a free agent. Nope. The do not have to trade him to Pittsburgh.. If they do it will set an incredibly bad precedent for other negotiations.
