All going along the stages of contract negotiation, 1. Ask for more than you're worth 2. Make "cryptic" tweets and posts to social media about how you're not being appreciated 3. Request a trade 4. Scrub all mentions of prior team from your social media 5. Hold out for camp 6. Eventually sign a contract 7. Be out of shape and go from having an All Pro year to mediocre "We paid him HOW MUCH?" year.

☑️ Cryptic social media posts and public comments ☑️ Request to be traded ◻️ Holds out at the start of training camp ◻️ New contract signed We’re almost there!

They drafted 2 wrs in high rounds… the writing has been on the wall for awhile 😂

Imagine desperately trying to get traded off a Super Bowl contender. If I were management, I'd trade him to the Pats 😂

Every WR now thinks they should be paid like Justin Jefferson smh 🤦‍♂️

Funny that Acho felt strongly about it too Aiyuk felt disrespected it’s an ego thing because he got offered 26.14mil an amount he would hv accepted 6 months before and would hv accepted 28mil until he and his agent wanted to see what JJ is going to get. I hate when they use the words “support and take care of his family” but it’s really about ego.

we went from "They don't want me" to "I don't want to be here"

Bro seriously wants to play for the Commanders for some reason lmao

I think somthing that needs to be accepted is that if a team member is acting like this,youre doing yourself a favor in trading them

Tyreek hill went for 2022 1,2,4 and 2023 4,6 he went for a ton

Make Aiyuk play next season under his current contract. Then franchise tag him..

The Raiders gave up a 1st and 2nd rounder for Davante. Miami gave up a 1st rounder and more for Tyreek. Both players were then signed to extensions. C'mon...you guys are better than that...

Tyreek and Davantae were BOTH traded for a first round pick and a second round pick and more WITH a new contract. So I don’t know what yall are saying but Aiyuk could easily go for a first round pick

The one who has to honor the contract he signed with an expairation date is Brando. Why put an end date on a contract if they don't comply with it, don't cry

Don't forget- Kyle and Lynch are the SMARTEST people in the NFL! (not) 49ers are like the Cowboys...all that talent and...???

Just un followed him on Instagram, I have formally requested to separate myself from this drama

The niners are crazy for thinking Aiyuk would take 26 M after Waddle got 27 Its not a bad offer until that happened. No way BA takes less than waddle and i dont blame him

Imagine turning your nose up at 26 Million to win a ring with a team where everyone is a producer, wild. You gotta be delulu. Waddle can have his 27 Million because he’s not getting a ring. So what’s a ring worth in addition to your contract these days?

That man is a Pittsburgh Steeler

The best thing about BA is is blocking downfield

Ricky Pearsall will be a 1k yards receiver once’s he gets to a starting spot so 🤷🏽‍♀️

davante adams went for a 1st and 2nd round pick tho @ 10:37

Hey, i hope he is happy where he ends up but dang im tired of the drama us niners fans had to deal with this offseason. Cant wait to see ricky develope and earn his spot on the offense

And here is one of the biggest issues with the NFL, the contract rules and franchise tags. If I heard correct, Aiyuk is tagged AND under contract for 3 more seasons, a contract that he agreed to and signed, but yet now wants to demand a trade or to have his deal redone because he don't loke it no more and he wants more $$$ Selfish baby boy, screams me me me and I'm bigger than the team. Let him sit if that's what he wants to do. Played your hand now #11, eat crow and enjoy your unpaid time off!

Khan, you know what to do 👀

Aiyuk for Adams? A lil raiders niners wr swap would be interesting

Pre preseason has become a land of misery for us Niners fans. Every year with this bs.....

Vikes say keep him out of the north

Chiefs got a 1st, 2nd, 4th, 4th, and 6th for Tyreek lol. Not sure where his "3rd and 6th" came from. they built the defense that won them 2 superbowls by trading him

One of Aiyuks strengths is his run blocking. He is always willing and good at it. The 9ers offense is one where that is very important. If they don’t get a deal done I am sure his willingness will adjust accordingly

These players putting the bag ahead of a SB and then get upset and complain about how bad the team does smh. All the while fans foot the bill of these climbing contracts.

As an Eagles fan only thing I care about is that he's not traded to Washington

Come to Pittsburgh

The Rams in all there history has never ever ever had a selfish receiver. From Elroy Hirsh to Jack Snow, Preston Dennard, Henry Ellard, Ike Bruce, Torry Holt, Kupp and Puka. Whiners it's every single year.

Packers got a first and second round pick for Adams. Wym? 10:37

The Niners can have him play on a 5th-year deal and tag him the year after and it would cost them less than the 30M yearly average Aiyuk is seeking. The only thing the Niners set to gain by getting him signed for the 30M / y asking price is cap flexibility in year 2.

Dude is still on his rookie contract. No team should want a guy that is not willing to fulfill a contract that was signed by him. For all of you that say hey it's just business, you're correct same for the 49ers also.

Jags dodged a bullet not agreeing to trade with Niners for this guy.

Aiyuk is already under contract for a fairly reasonable $14 million for 2024. If he were a free agent (which he isn't) he would be able to get about $24 million a year. So in 2024 he's slated to get about 60 percent of his open-market value, which is pretty damn good. Just play out this season for good money, and by doing so he will set himself up for great money in 2025 and beyond.

look at the amount of legends that have been through the organization over the last 50 years, theres a formula there forsure on how to deal with that stuff.

He is currently under contract with the 49ers and if he doesn't show up for mandatory training camp then they should place BA on the UN able to perform list and bench him

Bills fan here. We are going to find out how we stack up against the niners, and we are looking forward to it

26 million in california after taxes ~ 13,000,000 27 million in Florida after taxes ~17,000,000

Ok the main Cover for this video says “Aiyuk requests trade, 49ers refuse to honor it?!” is click bait just for the word “honor”. Because if there’s someone who needs to honor anything, it should be Aiyuk honoring his 14 mil contract instead of asking for an increase and when 49ers said ok we’ll give you 26.14 mil he still wanted more and when he couldn’t get it created drama, and now a trade. SMH

Here goes Pat again not understanding why a team doesn't just give a player all the money when they're literally already under contract.

If Ricky Pearsall comes into camp and TEARS IT UP, Aiyuk’s trade value PLUMMETS

Jennings did so much better during the superbowl than Aiyuk did... trade him

Aiyuk staying on the 9ers would be the most valuable decision he could possibly make.

Hes trying to go to the Pack 🧀

If a player under-performs,does he get paid lesser than the contract he signed. That is why a contract is signed otherwise he should have put a clause.

He’s not going anywhere ! They’ll need him when Debo gets hurt again !

I just hope he’s smart and doesn’t come to camp out of shape when he actually shows up.

Jacksonville can use an other receiver.

If they make him stay, he'll just not perform until they get rid of him. There's a team that will pay him if 49ers will let him go and be where he wants. It seems like he just doesn't want to be there.

Pay him. Teams want you to be loyal in the NFL, like CFB, but use these black men and they miss out on millions. Hold out.

Just confirmed Ayuik is gonna have a bad year. Which means Purdy has a bad year. CMC popping off this year without injuries.

49ers has the upper hand. Let him sit out. He gets fine. Lose money. Pull a bell. Or he plays and continue to show what he think is his worth. 49ers saying were not interested. But doesn't matter how rich you are. Everything has a value. But the value will have to be a profit

Aiyuk is fantastic at his position. But their offense is not wanting for talent. Aiyuk could sit this season and that offense will perform just as well.

A non player thinking he can do what? Dude mediocrity

He’s officially a Steeler🤙🏾💛🖤

Vikings will trade you Addison for Aiyuk straight up 😂

As Steelers fan, Omar Khan is trying to get him. Idk why 49ers are playing hard to get?

Trade judon for aiyuk im calling it ! Patriots

Hell no, not paying a replacement player

NFC teams are like 😂😂😂😂

10:30 - dude wtf are you talking about? Adams and Hill both got traded for first round picks. Do your homework before you talk, that’s literally your job

They were wrong about the adams trade he went for a 1st and a 2nd

Not sure if he is really a WR 1…how did he do when Debo was hurt?? I don’t see Niners paying him as a top WR

the bills should be interested

I think he’s either going to sign with 49ers or they’re going to tag him next year and trade him to a team that’s struggling and he’s not going to be able to produce the numbers he has with SF. If I was an owner and seeing how BA is ready and eager to back out of a contract before it’s up, I’d second guess signing him. How would I know that he wouldn’t back out of our contract when things aren’t going right, like he did to the team that’s taken him to multiple Super Bowls. Either way it’s not a good look for him

imagine as a player a team holds on to you without you wanting to be their imagine it’s going to reflect in his play and ba is a good blocker you don’t want him going soft lol

They can and will trade him after this season. We cannot afford to pay him when we're paying everyone else

This guy should be in the WWE Women's division the way he acts like a Diva.

Aiyuk also has power, that’s false claiming the 9ers hold all the power. The longer this goes, the weaker the draft capital they can receive gets. So if they don’t trade him, and he doesn’t show up, then they have no player and no picks. Aiyuk does hold some power

Anywhere? Theres a couple of teams he would have to fight for the 2nd spot. Not many, but there is a couple.

How come they get rid of you whenever they feel like it?

Niners ain’t trading him this year!!!

Cuz he’s a cheap good WR. They do NOT need to trade him nor sign him to a big contract because he’s still under contract for this year for $14M and then he can get franchise tagged for 2 more years. He has ZERO fkn leverage he should have taken the $26M a year

WR is such an exciting position, I’d love to see Aiyuk on my Ravens, it would be almost like the years we had Bolden. But I see the point that no competitive front office can justify sending picks plus having to pay him at the end of the day. It sucks that this only happens to the athletes in their prime, like OBJ had no issue finding a new team 3 times now. That’s only cuz he’s cheaper. The rookies coming out as a competent replacement doesn’t help, it wasn’t always like that.

I imagine Aiyuk will have a sore hamstring or some other minor issue soon.

The 49ers can't give in to Aiyuk's demands. Purdy will be up for a big payday although I see Purdy as the type of guy to take a tad less to in order to regain key pieces so that they can be competitive. I'd rather lose Aiyuk than someone like Bosa or Warner because there will be a cap casualty similar to when they traded Deforest Buckner for a draft pick. He won't have the same success in another system. Trade him to Washington for their 2025 first round pick, which should be a top 10 pick. Possibly even a top 5. Also have them throw in a late rounder like a 3rd. He'll go out to Washington, put up 700 yards with 5 TDs and that $28M a year he's asking for will seem ridiculous.

As a chargers fan id like us to gwt him but i am also aware the money aspect probably makes that impossible

Aiyuk is talented. No doubt. But he needs to understand a lot of his success came from Shanahan, his offense, and his ability manufacturer first downs and TDs better than any coach in the league.

yeah trade him. to the steelers. come on home brandon! 49’s don’t want you! 49ers don’t respect you! never play another down for those losers. apparently they don’t think they’ll miss you and don’t think you are worth an extension. tell em to go pound sand.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He's still under contract, so unless he acts the way other teams wouldn't like. He's going nowhere.

He playz on the same team as the most underpaid person in the league (purdy) and complains about his pay

tbh brock throwing dimes can make any WR look good. Look at those passes just droppin in his hands

Can’t be mad at someone that wants to secure generational wealth in a game where one play can be the end of your career. That’s what a lot of comment warriors forget from his side as a player.

mahomes & aiyuk. nfl ain't ready

Davante did get traded for a first round pick

Aiyuk may be one of the dumbest players ever. Imagine being on a team with CMC, Kittle, Deebo, Bosa, Warner, etc and telling the team… “without me you’re nothing…” yea right buddy. Enjoy missing out prime playing time in your career. Plus who’s going to want you after you do something like this. You might get a one-two year deal.

how is a franchise tag even a thing 😂 it’s the only sport where a franchise tag exist that thing has to go teams shouldn’t be able to hold on to you when you’re contract is over

Just trade him for Mclaurin and a late round pick. Terry is 3 years old so that why I think a late round pick would be fair. Plus Aiyuk would be great for Jayden Daniels.

Ummm Adam’s was traded for a 1st and 2nd rounder.

Would've rather watched this on hard knocks off-season

He’s gunna end up a Brown or a Jet 😂😂

COME TO PITTSBURGH !!!!!

10:42 Tyreek Hill went for like a 1st and multiple other picks I think 5 or more lol

Not a darn thing AB can do about it

Let’s go pats we have the money
