49ers Brandon Aiyuk has requested a trade

[RunKC]

Brandon Aiyuk is under contract for a little more than $14 million this season. The #49ers survived a trade request from Deebo Samuel. We’ll see if they can find their way through this one from Aiyuk. https://t.co/jKpRuBqOkJ

This argument just reinforces what an incredibly talented team San Francisco has. They have top 10 and even top 5 players in so many positions. Definitely CB, LB, DL, OT, TE, RB and 1 or maybe even 2 at WR. And I think you can make a case Purdy is a top 10 quarterback.

And yet they lost to us, should have lost to Detroit other than that fluke Ayuik touchdown, and got destroyed by the ravens. Hard to know what gives.

It’s great to be a Chiefs fan. We are so lucky. It must be so frustrating to be a San Francisco fan.

Deebo and Aiyuk are on the same team, and the WR1/X is not Deebo. It's been this way for the last 2 years.

You keep saying this like it means that Aiyuk is better than Deebo when in reality it’s because Aiyuk can’t do the things Deebo can. Shanahan is an offensive guru. He knows it’d make no sense to make Deebo strictly an X and make Aiyuk the Z, which is the more vertatile position.

Was Tyreek even an X in KC?

Aiyuk isn't just the X, he's also the teams leading WR the last 2 years, and I know Deebo missed a lot of time, but he also had more YPG as well. He's their WR1 100%.

Again, you're trying to argue against facts. This isn't an opinion.

Here's the overwhelming majority of 49ers fans on Reddit acknowledging who their WR1 is:

Also, saying "Aiyuk can't do the things Deebo can" while not acknowledging that 100% goes both way proves how either disingenuous or clueless you actually are.

Deebo can't run routes or separate like Aiyuk, you know, two of the most important qualities in a WR.

Well, yeah. I said from the beginning that Deebo is more critical to the efficiency of the SF offense than Aiyuk.

The separate question is whether or not Aiyuk is a top-10 WR, which I believe he is. Statistically, it's not even a question. He's easily top-10 based off of his 2023 stats.
