49ers Brandon Aiyuk has requested a trade

[mrbiggz]

They might be the first team to have 100M tied up in a QB/WR combo in the upcoming years with Purdy eligible for an extension after this year.

With Aiuyuk, I suspect that they will franchise him next year and then extend him in 2026 making him a damn near a 40M a year receiver.

Deebo is gone after this year, he’s not really a wr. If they’re smart they’d pay aiyuk, keep him with purdy and trade deebo next offseason or cut him.

Can't wait to piss pound the Texans

Why wouldn't the Lions make an all-in move like this? The NFC is as bad as I can ever remember. That Lions team is one more major piece away from making a Super Bowl.

Montgomery and Gibbs at running back. LaPorta at TE. St Brown, Aiyuk and Williams at receiver. That is a Super Bowl roster. Give it to that poor fanbase they deserve it.

Under their current OC, Sun God is their #1 and will get massive target share each game.

I think this is damaged beyond repair.

Unfortunately for them, Deebo is probably their most important offensive piece.

But then fortunately for them, Shanahan can make use of a tweener like Deebo better than most.

Based on what happened last season, I’d bet they’ll look to at least negotiate with Deebo. It looks like Aiyuk is the odd man out.

Zero chance they actually value Deebo more than Aiyuk, an actual WR.

Just look at the SB tape. Deebo couldn't separate from our great cover corners, while Aiyuk was getting open consistently.

Aiyuk is an actual WR. Deebo is an offensive weapon. If they choose Deebo over Aiyuk, it's about a difference in money, because Aiyuk is the better player all things even.

I disagree. The last healthy season Deebo had, he put up 1400 receiving yards (plus another 350 on the ground).

If they value Aiyuk over Deebo, it’ll be due to the fact that Deebo’s role in their offense is more likely to lead to him getting hurt than Aiyuk’s traditional usage.

Because you're clueless.

Again, watch the SB tape. One guy couldn't get open while the other was doing it consistently. I understand Deebo is a valuable weapon, but weapons aren't more valuable than legit WR1s that can run a full route tree and separate consistently.

And just pointing to his 1,400 yard season means nothing. Why do you constantly do this? "Blake Bortles is a good QB because he threw 30+ TDs". Stats mean nothing without context. Deebo is what he is. He's a playmaker and he's fantastic with the ball in his hands. He racks up receiving yardage after the catch. He's not a route runner or separator though, and those guys are more valuable.

You have no argument, and you won't actually address mine. All you're saying is "nuh uh".

My argument is clear. Meanwhile you’re saying shit like this:

No one in this thread agrees with that. Not one front office rep would agree with that. Not one of the 9ers 53-man roster would agree with that.

Your opinion is trash and you are clearly blind. Your “eye test” is stricken from the record.

You are so ****ing clueless that it's cute.

This has nothing to do with the eye test. May argument is very clear. Aiyuk is their WR1, not Deebo. You don't pay your WR2 more than your WR1 because he's "versatile".

This entire argument of how the 49ers performed without him is dumb too. We never saw them without Aiyuk. Of course a team with a pumpkin needs all their playmakers to be a great offense, especially a guy that they depend on in the run and passing game to scheme easy touches.

Matt Barrows, from The Athletic, recently shared his insights on the topic during an interview with Bay Area radio station KNBR.

"If it came down to Deebo Samuel or Brandon Aiyuk, I think they go with Brandon Aiyuk because he's on the same page as Brock Purdy," Barrows said. "We saw that chemistry all year long. They seemed perfect for each other. They seem made for each other, whereas Deebo Samuel had some absolutely terrific games this season but didn't seem to have the same passing chemistry. A lot of his yards were short passes that he creates yards after the catch."

Deebo was hurt during the SB. First half, iirc. First, he reinjured his shoulder, then his hamstring.


Which is the problem with keeping Deebo over Aiyuk; he's had a recent history of injuries.


But from a football perspective, I think I'd rather keep Deebo; he's more versatile. Shanahan can line up Deebo in the slot, out wide, in the backfield, even at the H and T. He's not the pure WR that Aiyuk is, but from a coach's perspective you can find more uses for him. Also, when you look at SF's statistical efficiency over the last few seasons, Deebo makes more of a difference than Aiyuk, iirc.
