Exactly. If we do, he will produce like crazy because it is in his best interests, not the teams. He has proven himself to be a very good player that is not a team player. And airing dirty laundry in public is just plain cheap
If you try to make him play the first time he's tackled in camp he's going to get a "thing" that makes him sit on the bench until the next "thing" that happens, you're not going to get production out of him if you try to "make" him do what he doesn't want to. Then we will end up trading him in the middle of the season for peanuts
Brandon Aiyuk is an excellent receiver, and a terrific and unselfish blocker downfield. I wish that he would take that unselfishness and apply it to the contract negotiations, because he's going to be set up for life, and so will his family, and as a team player, he needs to also help the team succeed with the salary cap just as he does on the field.
Basically the same thing I have been saying since the start. Jefferson is on a much higher playing field than Aiyuk… so is Tyreek Hill. AJ brown is on a higher tier than Aiyuk…. To be honest, St. Brown has a squad but yet is still on a higher tier. Aiyuk is being unreasonable and childish.
Yes, cause a guy that's made it this far has completely forgotten about that, while playing on a team with multiple stars who've already gone through this exact situation has completely forgot to take the time to think about that 🤦♂️
Wide open in the end zone if I recall correctly. Play collapsed because of a mistake on protection. Niners Offense left the field with a lead in OT.... Weak ass argument
Why would sf pay him more than he ALREADY is signed to(14m). If they give him more...every player will think what they agreed to is no longer enough. The players will respect the mgmt holding firm. Pay him 26 to 30 and he will get soft. Pay him 14 and watch him have his best year. Human nature. Bosa...I rest my caae
Or, at least not in a way that will cripple the team's cap space. Do a true long-term deal, like Mahomes has. Players are still guaranteed money, even in years they haven't played yet.
Social media is this generation's way to communicate. What Brandon did today is another example of what younger players do to get their point across. The 49ers have a great window in their chances to win a Super Bowl. Having Brandon on their team makes the team better.
The way I see it is Brandon is being VERY childish about this. He needs to grow up and understand he has NO leverage. They own his rights for the next 3 seasons and IF he holds out in training camp I think they should LOWER the offer to him, I know I would. Take it or leave it.
Really, he didn't know that they own his rights, he doesn't know that he has no leverage... you're kidding me.... you soooo smart. Please tell us more about those 3 years.
He’s playing games ; collect the nice money play for one of the best teams and keep it moving. 20M plus ? I love BA but cmon that’s amazing way to live
You need good receivers in the NFL. You don't need GREAT receivers. Pay good receivers good receiver money, not great receiver money. Draft players you can develop into good receivers. If the rest of your team suffers because you don't have the salary cap space to make it good due to the amount of $$ you are paying your receivers you are doing something wrong.
George Kittle, Juan Jennings, Deebo Sanuel, Ricky Pearsal, CMC. It’s not like SF is out of receiver options. I admit, BA is a great player, on the field, but let’s be real, he’s not as indispensable as he thinks, and is lowkey being a ditz about the whole situation. Just my humbling opinion
Make him fulfil his contract , he’s no Jerry Rice …he’s no Owens ….he’s no John Taylor and the list goes on !!!!! Let’s be honest , his Super-bowl performance was average
Sorry Brandon but this is similar to when women say "where are all have all the good men gone?" This is code for where have all the rich, handsome, tall, popular and single guys gone?" The Niners DO want Brandon back but at 28mm. 30+MM? It's not going to happen. Single women must settle a bit to get a good man. BA will have to settle a bit to stay on the Niners. Boom!
There was no build up of chemistry in the off season prior to the 2023 season due to Purdy and his rehab. There will be no difference this year. Those two already know each other.
What I don’t understand about BA: 49ers clearly said they want him back. BA clearly said he wants to stay. So why the cryptic silly video he just posted? I’d prefer he just remain quiet in the public eye and maintain professionalism. Go to camp, be there for the team. If you want a new contract, I’d think it would be in your benefit to show up to work and be there for the organization. I hate this drama llama
@ David Lombardi, is Aiyuk not at the top due to his surrounding playmakers? Yes Aiyuk can separate, from one defender. Yes he has made contested catches, but when they were dots from Purdy. His numbers went up ever since Purdy came into the starting role. Deebo and Kittle have proved they can make catches while double covered and contested… without it being perfect. So let’s be honest, Aiyuk is as good as his fellow teammates allow him him to be. He fits great with the 49ers, but there is no way I feel he deserves 30 million per year, in the sense that everyone says. He is, in my opinion, worthy of a 75% to 85% guaranteed contract. He is always available and does block his ass off.
Great point. Even if BA wanted to sign, his agent probably told him don’t sign because his agent knew there’s a ton of top wide receivers that are looking for new contracts.
Just cause another team pays one of their players a certain amount should not “set the bar” for all other players. If you want to play on this team, this is what we can pay you. If you don’t, then good luck landing the deal you think you’re worth l.
I agree one hundred percent keep quiet and if they need to.... tag him for three seasons who knows between the next two seasons won't be an issue if they go to the superbowl and WIN
I love how David takes me off the live comment feed cause I state the obvious people talk ba down I say there on drugs and he can't handle me saying his viewer's are on drugs cause I stick up for BA WOW
After that lowdown tictoc, he's made it clear that he don't care about the team, or the fans. I say make him play with the contract he's got. He's not a "great" receiver. Under a different QB he might just be average.
Jefferson deal had nothing to do with the niners. B A is very good and I love his blocking but not everyone one your team can make 20 million a year. Next year your quarterback needs a big deal. You upgraded your wide receiver corps big time.
Lol, I don't think the fanbase is addicted to the drama. What we want is for this situation to be resolved and the drama to *end.* So any new event that looks like it's going to make that process to end the drama longer and harder (whether it's something on social media or another receiver signing a big contract, or w/e) generates a lot of clamor and, yes, overreactions. Frankly, I'm sick and tired (and a think many other fans are as well) of the constant drama of the whole contract situation (whoever we might or might not want to blame for it), but it's the thought of having to wade through that drama for even longer rather than things seemingly moving toward a resolution that drives the anxiety.
😂 Agree. Niners want BA at their price 26 mill. Maybe, 28 mill. But his price is 30 mill? Brock will get to around 55 mill. Problem is Niners have too many stars. He won't be the #1. He only had 3 targets in SB.
Not smart tactics in social media by BA. Call it immature, over reactive or simply unprofessional. Just because JJ got a ridiculous contract doesn't mean BA gets it. Niners hold the cards.
Genuine question: You often mention how the 49ers can simply play him this year on his 14 mill, tag him twice, and go from there. What are the downsides to that strategy for the 49ers? Financially, it seems to be the clear play. Are there ancillary issues that will arise? Team sentiment towards 49er executives sour, potential distractions due to holdout, Aiyuk becomes locker room cancer etc?
The team can’t control the cap cash flow that way - the money would hit rigidly each year. So the team is incentivized to reach a long term deal so that it has more financial power. And keeping productive employees happy offers a good cultural benefit, at least in theory
I was just thinking, after you mention the confidentiality from the 49ers on contract negotiations. That’s not a public topic, it’s a private and personal topic. I know there are individuals that have no problem with it and will tell others what they are making… this should be something kept 💯 private, with no proof, legally, to verify a “rumor”. This might deviate, or might have deviated, teams from having this problem of “well he got this, so I want this” bullshit.
Drama Queen, dude. Everybody wants Brandon Aiyuk to play, nobody wants an overpaid crybaby. I hope that he is better at catching passes than he is at negotiating.
Paying receivers top money makes zero sense. So many other positions are more vital for a receiver to even be good. And how can there be like 7 wideouts taken in the first 2 round every year and they make top money... eventuality they will be like running backs. There will be too many.
If they Dont want to pay him…the price will only continue to go up…why not trade him and move on? Why even let that mindset/attitude into the locker-room
Being to greedy will end up costing him big. I don't understand guy's like that. 14 million this year on 5th year. He could get twice that, but may mess around and 14 will be all he gets.
Do you know the last team that won a SB with the league’s highest paid receiver on their roster?…. The 49ers in 1994 with Jerry Rice (the GOAT). That’s 30 years ago - and Jerry was significantly better than Aiyuk. The Niners have made a fair contract offer. They hold all of the leverage. If he doesn’t take it, he can play for $14M this year and $21M next year and then $26M the year after that… or he can take $26M/year in a long term contract.
Screw that guy! Whining about money when millions of people are struggling to make ends meet. Trade him for a first round pick. We got 2 wideouts through the draft that will make an immediate impact 🤘🏼
It just not going to be realistic to get a deal with him, especially after the Vikings screwed everyone with that huge contract. BA is not worth it he is not Jerry Rice. The guy is good but not HOF good. 49ers should have traded him at the draft if there was a buyer. I just can’t see spending 50+ million on two very average WR. 49ers need to move on from him.
Aiyuk is missing the point, his agent also is, winning a Super Bowl is of great value going forward in his career... otherwise he will pass up an opportunity to make another super bowl and fulfill his destiny... want to get the money of Jefferson is getting, put your head on straight and get it done. To be a super star in the NFL or become another also-ran loser. There is no other team out there that can put you in the Super Bowl this year... think about it... greed never wins in the end.
He is only showing the love for money and not the love for the team. Yeah, I get that this is a business and they want to get as much $ as possible but this is only damaging the team by him being doing tik tok videos instead of practicing and getting ready for the season. As a business owner you want the guy who shows up not the one who doesn’t. I love Aiyuk but this is gone too far.
Hard to have an opinion about this other than Aiyuk should keep his head down and stay off social media. Drama like that TikTok post comes off as childish and unprofessional. We don't know the number the 49ers have currently put on the table, so there's nothing yet to talk about there. I know the 49ers are not dumb enough to pay the WR position Jefferson money - nobody at that position is worth that much of a team's salary space, as there's just too much talent around the league at WR to justify it (same as RB). I'm all for players getting paid, but that Jefferson deal is not a winning formula.
@@Obie_24 Good point. I do think the Vikes could have got Jefferson for a lot cheaper, and if not, should have traded him for assets. That contract seems like an albatross to me. It will be interesting to measure Jefferson's production in the future.
@@drogonr9318 Maybe. Since he’s made an All-pro team 3 out 4 years, he was going to rest the WR market. If it were the Niners then yeah it be a krazy deal. But for them it makes sense. He’s the face of their franchise.
The drama is incredibly distasteful. Filming himself and then releasing that red meat to the masses is a classless move. He went down quite a few notches in my book. It's more than just talent and I wholey recognize the chemistry with Purdy. He is just acting in a disgusting entitled and toxic manner. It's ugly and I wouldn't want it on my team. But then again. who am I? Just another opinion on RUclips.
They gotta pay Purdy next year plus BA ain’t SPECIAL! He’s no game changer. One great year followed by a flop performance in the Super Bowl doesn’t cut it in my book. BA thinking he deserves Jerry Rice type of respect is comedy 👎🏼
Yeah simply trade him. Hes acting like a diva. come on turn down 26 or so million. You must not want any good team mates. I guess money is more important than winning.
He's literally laughing at us all in that video. His statement is absurd. 9ERS won't destroy the team to appease greed. They're stocked with good prospects. SALARY CAP! I've lost respect for the man... Great kills
Greed? You're looking at this from a very narrow viewpoint. If BA were expendable the 9ers would throw him away fast. He has a small window to make the majority of his money for the rest of his life. It's not greed at all, it's business. If you could squeeze a nickel more out of your employer you would. Very hypocritical of you.
"this is a simple, predictable, situation." Has spent months predicting the opposite.. I like David, but he never says he's wrong. This channel has hit the Nexus where they keep pretending they're all knowing.
This must be your first video watching because you’d know he has been very accurate, especially after Jefferson’s contract exploded the WR market. Troll somewhere you can get away with it, cause it won’t be successful for you on this channel 😂
Trade him! I’m getting pretty disgusted with these money worshipping athletes who are expressing gross idolatry and money worship! They have no loyalty or connection to their team, which to me is perverse, and disgusting! Brandon is a great receiver, but he is not worth this trouble, or that amount of money!! See ya Aiyuk!!
Trade AB he deserve to get paid but you still under contract why you have to be selfish you got $40 million why this players are so selfish they want a new deal go win the Super Bowl and then maybe they will give you that kind of money is so negative all these guys so selfish they need to look at motivation to win Super Bowl then you can get a big money for it. AB Deserve big money, but you don’t need a contract fine USA person is about character when you do what you do best you will get paid a lot of money but if you don’t, it’s not Trade him. Is very negative destructed for team.
David is right, BA is not helping himself. If someone offered me $14 mil I could live with that. But a team with bad management foolishly overpaid someone so now BA and every other receiver needs to be foolishly overpaid as well...
whats crazy is the Niners probably have already offered him around 27 mil. I dont understand why these athletes fret over a mill or 2. Its like bruh you set up for fuckin life. Whats 1 or 2 million really guuna make a difference? That doesnt include endorsement money either.
BA needs to understand that he has no leg to stand on for the next three years! He belongs to the 49ers, period! Accept it and take the $26 million per year. 49ers can trade or release him later in two years.
Dude was where during camp and is gnawing on junk food talking smack wanting franchise killing cash. Perhaps he should be tagged and traded. Like others have said, he should be greedy for the ball and humble. Instead he’s ruffling feathers. He ain’t no Jerry Rice that’s for damn sure.
Aiyuk go get paid the nfl will cut you the minute you get hurt … I’m all for pro player getting money. It’s a business he doesn’t have any leverage so at least try everything possible to get your contract.
Minnesota is actually a good franchise that has had a lot of talent and some decent success. JJ deserves to be paid the most by far because he is the best WR by far.
Aiyuk better be careful or he'll price himself up to end up on a team with no one to throw the ball to him.
Great point!! Its not the money to be in a bad situation with no QB
And no chance at a Super Bowl title.
Pay the man Brandon Auiup
BA should ask Devonte Adams what it is like to go from a competitive team to a pack team.
Dude is still under contract, make him play next season...
Exactly. If we do, he will produce like crazy because it is in his best interests, not the teams. He has proven himself to be a very good player that is not a team player. And airing dirty laundry in public is just plain cheap

Mr Wilson love your comments!! I would also add be a man about it.
BA forgetting Jefferson ain’t got no team and has proved time and time again he’s that DUDE on his nonstacked team in comparison to BA’s team.
Well said. Jefferson is a step up. And I'm a huge Yuk fan. But overpaying Yuk so he can feel better about his salary is not the answer for us. Period.
Basically the same thing I have been saying since the start. Jefferson is on a much higher playing field than Aiyuk… so is Tyreek Hill. AJ brown is on a higher tier than Aiyuk…. To be honest, St. Brown has a squad but yet is still on a higher tier. Aiyuk is being unreasonable and childish.
Yes, cause a guy that's made it this far has completely forgotten about that, while playing on a team with multiple stars who've already gone through this exact situation has completely forgot to take the time to think about that 🤦♂️
Where was this 30mill receiver in the super bowl?
Exactly.
Wide open in the end zone if I recall correctly. Play collapsed because of a mistake on protection. Niners Offense left the field with a lead in OT.... Weak ass argument
@@nickfindsgold9788right?!
Running wide open or blocking for CMC. Wishing they would throw him the ball lol
He was getting open. Seems as if they were trying to force-feed Deebo no matter how tight the coverage was.
I seriously doubt anyone in the 49ers management said they dont want him back.
Yeah but this kinda crap doesn’t exactly make the locker room tighter.

@@BBaker916 definitely. Great point. As much as ppl think the receivers and team make Purdy who and what he is, the reverse is true as well
@@BBaker916 that’s what I’ve been saying for months now and people don’t even consider that
How much guaranteed money are they offering?
Going to be a 35 million dollar Jefferson running wind sprints with balls sailing over his head or short to the opposing DB
I chuckled when David said the word "drama".
Speaking of Jefferson David.. who is going to throw the ball to the 35 million dollar receiver the ball?
Their rookie QB or Darnold lmao
Dave, can you do an analysis of how BA is aligned (or misaligned) with the teams' core mission and value system, which you covered in the past?
Aiyuk at the crib eating dino nuggies an doritos.
Jefferson is a great player, but 35 a year is crazy. Prime LT is the only non qb I would pay that money to
Make him fulfil his contract , he’s no Jerry Rice …he’s no Owens ….he’s no John Taylor and the list goes on !!!!! Let’s be honest , his Super-bowl performance was average
Niners still looking to find their T.O lol
For real.
They got T.O son in the squad though
He is right, 49ers don't want him at what he is asking for. BA is not as good as he thinks. 26 million is more than he is worth.
He’s worth 26 just not on the Niners this year because of how complicated our cap is. On another team he’s easily a wr1 and 25-30 a year all day.
He deserves 27.5
Sorry Brandon but this is similar to when women say "where are all have all the good men gone?" This is code for where have all the rich, handsome, tall, popular and single guys gone?"

How I miss the days when team loyalty was a thing. When good players didn't get too big for their britches. Too damn many millionaires in the NFL.
Teams can cut a player and they lose their contracts, it's business. He owes the team nothing.
Do you know the last team that won a SB with the league’s highest paid receiver on their roster?…. The 49ers in 1994 with Jerry Rice (the GOAT). That’s 30 years ago - and Jerry was significantly better than Aiyuk. The Niners have made a fair contract offer. They hold all of the leverage. If he doesn’t take it, he can play for $14M this year and $21M next year and then $26M the year after that… or he can take $26M/year in a long term contract.
Screw that guy! Whining about money when millions of people are struggling to make ends meet. Trade him for a first round pick. We got 2 wideouts through the draft that will make an immediate impact 🤘🏼
B A going to another team he will be nowhere as good as with Brock Purdy and the niners.
It just not going to be realistic to get a deal with him, especially after the Vikings screwed everyone with that huge contract. BA is not worth it he is not Jerry Rice. The guy is good but not HOF good. 49ers should have traded him at the draft if there was a buyer. I just can’t see spending 50+ million on two very average WR. 49ers need to move on from him.
This is filler until the season starts. Then we can talk about it.
This just shows how immature B.A is!!!
Aiyuk is missing the point, his agent also is, winning a Super Bowl is of great value going forward in his career... otherwise he will pass up an opportunity to make another super bowl and fulfill his destiny... want to get the money of Jefferson is getting, put your head on straight and get it done. To be a super star in the NFL or become another also-ran loser. There is no other team out there that can put you in the Super Bowl this year... think about it... greed never wins in the end.
He is only showing the love for money and not the love for the team. Yeah, I get that this is a business and they want to get as much $ as possible but this is only damaging the team by him being doing tik tok videos instead of practicing and getting ready for the season. As a business owner you want the guy who shows up not the one who doesn’t. I love Aiyuk but this is gone too far.
His GF and family are too involved in his business. I’m surprised he allows them.
Hard to have an opinion about this other than Aiyuk should keep his head down and stay off social media. Drama like that TikTok post comes off as childish and unprofessional. We don't know the number the 49ers have currently put on the table, so there's nothing yet to talk about there. I know the 49ers are not dumb enough to pay the WR position Jefferson money - nobody at that position is worth that much of a team's salary space, as there's just too much talent around the league at WR to justify it (same as RB). I'm all for players getting paid, but that Jefferson deal is not a winning formula.
Vikes just drafted a QB. So they can give a WR that kind of money.
@@Obie_24 Good point. I do think the Vikes could have got Jefferson for a lot cheaper, and if not, should have traded him for assets. That contract seems like an albatross to me. It will be interesting to measure Jefferson's production in the future.
@@drogonr9318 Maybe. Since he’s made an All-pro team 3 out 4 years, he was going to rest the WR market. If it were the Niners then yeah it be a krazy deal. But for them it makes sense. He’s the face of their franchise.
The drama is incredibly distasteful. Filming himself and then releasing that red meat to the masses is a classless move. He went down quite a few notches in my book. It's more than just talent and I wholey recognize the chemistry with Purdy. He is just acting in a disgusting entitled and toxic manner. It's ugly and I wouldn't want it on my team. But then again. who am I? Just another opinion on RUclips.
Do you want to win multiple super bowls or what Mr Aiyuk?
Idk how Deebo "mr glass" Samuel got a bag, but they can't decide about Aiyuk who is definitely a better and more reliable receiver
They gotta pay Purdy next year plus BA ain’t SPECIAL! He’s no game changer. One great year followed by a flop performance in the Super Bowl doesn’t cut it in my book. BA thinking he deserves Jerry Rice type of respect is comedy 👎🏼
Yeah simply trade him. Hes acting like a diva. come on turn down 26 or so million. You must not want any good team mates. I guess money is more important than winning.
People so selfish. We don’t need no divas
Get your $ Ba. Take care of you. They will take care of them, ALWAYS. It's a business.
David tell him to quit being such a big baby
???
He's literally laughing at us all in that video. His statement is absurd. 9ERS won't destroy the team to appease greed. They're stocked with good prospects. SALARY CAP! I've lost respect for the man... Great kills
Greed? You're looking at this from a very narrow viewpoint. If BA were expendable the 9ers would throw him away fast. He has a small window to make the majority of his money for the rest of his life. It's not greed at all, it's business. If you could squeeze a nickel more out of your employer you would. Very hypocritical of you.
Very simple… 45 minute video… man David
Would you rather not have content? You can turn off at any time
@@DavidLombardi😂😂🎤 💣
"this is a simple, predictable, situation."
Has spent months predicting the opposite.. I like David, but he never says he's wrong. This channel has hit the Nexus where they keep pretending they're all knowing.
Why would I say that I’m wrong when I’m correct here lol
This must be your first video watching because you’d know he has been very accurate, especially after Jefferson’s contract exploded the WR market.
Troll somewhere you can get away with it, cause it won’t be successful for you on this channel 😂
Trade him! I’m getting pretty disgusted with these money worshipping athletes who are expressing gross idolatry and money worship! They have no loyalty or connection to their team, which to me is perverse, and disgusting!
Brandon is a great receiver, but he is not worth this trouble, or that amount of money!!
See ya Aiyuk!!
Trade AB he deserve to get paid but you still under contract why you have to be selfish you got $40 million why this players are so selfish they want a new deal go win the Super Bowl and then maybe they will give you that kind of money is so negative all these guys so selfish they need to look at motivation to win Super Bowl then you can get a big money for it. AB Deserve big money, but you don’t need a contract fine USA person is about character when you do what you do best you will get paid a lot of money but if you don’t, it’s not Trade him. Is very negative destructed for team.
Brandon just fkin play dude so Godam so full of drama bull 💩 ridiculous
David is right, BA is not helping himself. If someone offered me $14 mil I could live with that. But a team with bad management foolishly overpaid someone so now BA and every other receiver needs to be foolishly overpaid as well...
whats crazy is the Niners probably have already offered him around 27 mil. I dont understand why these athletes fret over a mill or 2. Its like bruh you set up for fuckin life. Whats 1 or 2 million really guuna make a difference? That doesnt include endorsement money either.
BA needs to understand that he has no leg to stand on for the next three years! He belongs to the 49ers, period! Accept it and take the $26 million per year. 49ers can trade or release him later in two years.
Dude was where during camp and is gnawing on junk food talking smack wanting franchise killing cash. Perhaps he should be tagged and traded. Like others have said, he should be greedy for the ball and humble. Instead he’s ruffling feathers. He ain’t no Jerry Rice that’s for damn sure.
Just let him play out his finale season of this contract and franchise tag him next season
Prefer a trade. Don't want the playing flu. Or locker room crying.
Trade him to Carolina or Washington. Welcome to purgatory.
So the only news is that Aiyuk thinks it's fun to play pretend
Aiyuk go get paid the nfl will cut you the minute you get hurt … I’m all for pro player getting money. It’s a business he doesn’t have any leverage so at least try everything possible to get your contract.
Minnesota is actually a good franchise that has had a lot of talent and some decent success.
JJ deserves to be paid the most by far because he is the best WR by far.
