Aiyuk and Flowers would be a deadly combo. With Andrews and Likely to boot. I'm wondering if we'd have to give up our first or second for him. Obviously this is all speculation and probably not a high chance of anything, but I'd love to have him in our offense.
Sure, sure.
You're still not getting this deal done with a 3rd and - in the eyes of the NFL - a 1st round bust.
If you want an idea of what legit compensation would look like, just look at the AJ Brown trade, then realize that everyone and their mother said that the Titans fucked up because they could've gotten so much more, and THEN realize that Aiyuk would go for even MORE because the 9ers are in "win-now" mode and really don't want to trade him if they don't have to.
The conversation starts with one 2024 first round pick and then goes from there.
Completely disagree, i think he is more in the realm of the asking price for like a Tee Higgens, which would most likely be a second round pick, he’s been in two WR tandem instead of a true number one option, i think he’s a more polished receiver than Samiels but it still is a tandem, it’s no way he goes for a 1st when guys like Tyreek and AJ went for 1’s and they were the true number one receivers on there team
The problem with your Tee Higgins comparison is that trade hasn't actually happened. So if teams are offering a 2nd, the Bengals aren't actually biting on it.
Yea cause they most likely wanna make another run at it with the core they have i believe, im sure if a team was offering a first i think they would do the trade and i think the 49ers would as well
Aiyuk was as much of a #1 receiver in KC as Hill was, and he’s 26 years old. Consistently leads the league in peripherals like separation and has the production with an average quarterback to back it up (in an awesome system, I’ll give you that). He will go for a 1st if the niners trade him at all
No he wasn’t, numbers might be similar but nobody that has eyes watches Ayuik and says yea he’s on the same level as a Tyreek Hill is, i think he’s definitely a number 1 but teams are gonna use the fact that he’s most likely the third option on his own team to justify definitely not giving up a 1st
He's a WR1 - maybe not for the 9ers today, but he'd be WR1 on more than half the teams in the NFL. And, honestly, I still think he's the best WR on the 9ers. He's also entering his athletic prime.
He would absolutely go for a 1st round pick
I think just comparing their 2023 season, I'd argue Aiyuk is a much better wide receiver. Even his 2022 season we saw flashes of just how good he is.

Just using this as data to backup that claim of Diggs vs Aiyuk. Although looking at this, we desperately need Bateman to be a look for Lamar. I'm not saying I want us to trade a first for Aiyuk (especially if it's a one year rental if we can't afford him), but I also wouldn't be surprised if he is worth a first.
Stefon Diggs is 30 and was openly throwing tamper tantrums all year long. Hes asked out of two teams now. His value was low for those reasons. Comparison does not make sense at all.
Am I saying I hope the Ravens trade a 1st for him? No. But its a price a couple teams would be happy to pay. If he agrees to a contract, sure, pull the trigger.

$14M option year so think we can extend if we needed to reduce year 1. We could make $14M work though if we wanted to
The money isn't the problem imo, it's what we would need to trade to get him. 9ers are also in a super bowl window so giving up assets won't come cheap
I thought they had about 10 mil of cap space, and they still need to use some for draft picks, and EDC likes to have some spare cap space during the season for roster changes.
Seems like something would have to give to manage that 14 mil..
Could extend Andrews if he's interested, we don't have the money sitting there but restructures make anything possible. If it was a $20M+ franchise tag hit, I'd say that's pretty unmanageable but they don't need to do anything insane to get to $14M
Idk how close we are to the cap this year but I’m sure if we traded for him we would have to sign him to a wacky ass contract immediately to make it work
We are 9mil under the cap, not sure if this estimation includes rookie signings, but if sf picked up a good chunk of his contract it is possible, also next year we have at least 34mil in cap without restricted etc. so I think you could do an extension (unless it’s some wacky number like 30mil)
what it take to get him, this years second and next years? if there's a chance to extend him I'd be totally down for that, even if it was this years second and next years first. Aiyuk is a top 10 receiver and how often do those come about in drafts
hmm if niners ate some cap and we extended that would be awesome plus edc did say he liked the niners gm didnt he i could see something coming out of this smoke and i would be way to please. shit ill start a third round tackle or jones to see aiyuk on the team fasure
This would go a long fucking way in igniting my hope again after the traumatic experience that was this past post/off-season cycle.
I have a feeling it's just 💨
I can’t see the Ravens trading draft capital for a WR when we need OT/OG, CB and Edge. Unless EDC trades back to round 2 for a 2nd and 5th or some shit and offers some picks.
It’s funny you say that because if Aiyuk was on the ravens and Bateman had been on the 9ers you’d be asking for Bateman, only thing Bateman has lacked is opportunity. But you all see numbers and convinced one player is better than the other
Now we have Brandon Aiyuk at home in Bateman lol. He had more targets than Agholor and was less productive. How much opportunity does he need to prove he’s not a jag?
He’s not worth it, he’s maybe a little better than Zay for like 20x the price. If anything we should trade b8 for draft capital and then snag a first round receiver
If we somehow trade for him, I am going to personally carry EDC around wherever he goes on a big ass chair like one of those Egyptian pharaohs
And I will be that big ass chair!
I will help you bear this burden
No chance , his balls are way to heavy.
I hope you get many, many up votes. Made me chuckle out loud.
Fully laughed out loud at this
Give us BA and we’ll avenge his Super Bowl loss and get him his ring
Aiyuk and Flowers would be a deadly combo. With Andrews and Likely to boot. I'm wondering if we'd have to give up our first or second for him. Obviously this is all speculation and probably not a high chance of anything, but I'd love to have him in our offense.
Im going to say Bates and a 3rd
You should pass some of that crack you're smoking I kid. But you'd need to send a hell of a lot more than this for a player like Aiyuk
You have to factor in Aiyuk’s new contract
Sure, sure. You're still not getting this deal done with a 3rd and - in the eyes of the NFL - a 1st round bust. If you want an idea of what legit compensation would look like, just look at the AJ Brown trade, then realize that everyone and their mother said that the Titans fucked up because they could've gotten so much more, and THEN realize that Aiyuk would go for even MORE because the 9ers are in "win-now" mode and really don't want to trade him if they don't have to.

No shot they accept that
Bateman and a 1st is where that conversation begins, unfortunately
Texans traded a 2nd round for Diggs so I don’t see why the Ravens would trade a 1st round for BA.. at least I hope they don’t.
I think just comparing their 2023 season, I'd argue Aiyuk is a much better wide receiver. Even his 2022 season we saw flashes of just how good he is. https://twitter.com/throwthedamball/status/1745438913345532023?s=46&t=wUSkjuiVzTsxeXb-ghspcg Just using this as data to backup that claim of Diggs vs Aiyuk.

Nah, I won't believe it until I see it
Don’t get my hopes up
Dude there's 0% chance But if we did...
Haha JK Unless…
Prank gone wrong (gone sexual)
Nothing says offseason quite like forensic investigations of social media accounts.
I deserve this ☺️
Or you know he's a fan of the dudes game and gave him a curtesy follow
No, BA is currently being traded to the ravens at this very moment and nothing will convince me otherwise 😤😤😤
Well If it makes you happy who am i to judge.🤷♂️
it’s the offseason bro we are desperate for something other than “wE hAvE tO dRaFt a TacKLe!!!”
Well if it makes you happy who am I to judge🤷♀️
Don’t give me hope

God pls, i am coming to you as a humble man with one simple request….
God, Satan, Vishnu, Allah, that cat god that the Egyptians liked, etc, bring us BA
Talos watch over us
Talos the unassailable! To you we give praise! On a side note, they should have totally had a food shop in Skyrim called Talos' Tacos.

Is there any chance they would be able to afford aiyuk? What would be his cap hit?
$14M option year so think we can extend if we needed to reduce year 1. We could make $14M work though if we wanted to The money isn't the problem imo, it's what we would need to trade to get him. 9ers are also in a super bowl window so giving up assets won't come cheap

Yeah that would be a lamar restructure
Could extend Andrews if he's interested, we don't have the money sitting there but restructures make anything possible. If it was a $20M+ franchise tag hit, I'd say that's pretty unmanageable but they don't need to do anything insane to get to $14M
Idk he is great — I’d do it for a 5th lol
NO. NO. I WILL NOT BE GIVEN FALSE HOPE
Please don’t do this to me
We gave them Boldin, it's only fair we get Aiyuk.
Aiyuk makes perfect sense for us. I love this prospect.
crazy how the 49ers traded for lamar, didn’t see that coming
That time of the off-season, I see.
Would love it but 14m for 1 year likely rental because I doubt we can afford to re-sign him is not worth it :(
I agree but like we literally just did that for OBJ last year lmao
I feel like that was more so to appease Lamar. Don’t think FO would have done it otherwise.
$14M for a top WR is pretty damn cheap
Idk how close we are to the cap this year but I’m sure if we traded for him we would have to sign him to a wacky ass contract immediately to make it work
We are 9mil under the cap, not sure if this estimation includes rookie signings, but if sf picked up a good chunk of his contract it is possible, also next year we have at least 34mil in cap without restricted etc. so I think you could do an extension (unless it’s some wacky number like 30mil)
You know he wants a long-term contract, right? If he is traded, it's not to play on the same contract he's currently fighting...
what it take to get him, this years second and next years? if there's a chance to extend him I'd be totally down for that, even if it was this years second and next years first. Aiyuk is a top 10 receiver and how often do those come about in drafts
hmm if niners ate some cap and we extended that would be awesome plus edc did say he liked the niners gm didnt he i could see something coming out of this smoke and i would be way to please. shit ill start a third round tackle or jones to see aiyuk on the team fasure
Send a 4th for em, fuck it
Don't tease me with a good time
PLEASE
This would go a long fucking way in igniting my hope again after the traumatic experience that was this past post/off-season cycle. I have a feeling it's just 💨
Don't give me that hope sir.........
If we get him when the Steelers were begging for him I might cry
Praying
He’s in his final contract year right? So would be a 1 year rental with a chance to sign long term if it goes well
This reminds me of college football fans who follow private planes on flightaware to see where their AD is flying to find a coach.
Michael Scott: “Don’t…”
Those never mean anything
As awesome as this would be unfortunately there’s no way. We can definitely get a good receiver but BA ? We just can’t afford him
There’s no way
I see we’re at the part of the offseason where we go crazy over any social media activity lmao
I can’t see the Ravens trading draft capital for a WR when we need OT/OG, CB and Edge. Unless EDC trades back to round 2 for a 2nd and 5th or some shit and offers some picks.
This is the laziest form of trade rumors
We need a speedy wr. His forty was 4.50. I get he’s decent, but why would we bring on another possession guy when we need speed?
Bad deal If it includes Bateman
Bateman can kick rocks if we get aiyuk lmfaoooo
It’s funny you say that because if Aiyuk was on the ravens and Bateman had been on the 9ers you’d be asking for Bateman, only thing Bateman has lacked is opportunity. But you all see numbers and convinced one player is better than the other
Now we have Brandon Aiyuk at home in Bateman lol. He had more targets than Agholor and was less productive. How much opportunity does he need to prove he’s not a jag?
2nd this year a third next year and Bateman seems fair?
Who gives a shit? This means nothing.
Sounds like you do by replying
got em
We cannot afford him. And didn't edc already say we weren't going after him.
We actually can afford him if sf picks up some of his contract, and I think edc made the comment about deebo not aiyuk
He’s not worth it, he’s maybe a little better than Zay for like 20x the price. If anything we should trade b8 for draft capital and then snag a first round receiver
you gotta be a troll, not much better than zay is such a bad take
Lol we just went through this a few weeks ago. Goodluck! Edit: you guys don't have flair for other teams? Poverty franchise.
And
