After an offseason of discussions, San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk has made an authority exchange demand 2 months before the 2024 season. While an exchange demand was generally a chance, the idea was that both side could come to an understanding.
Apparently it’s not working out. On July 16, NFL Organization insider Mike Garafolo announced that Aiyuk is hoping to leave the 49ers.
“Source: #49ers All-Ace WR Brandon Aiyuk has formally mentioned an exchange after an offseason of fruitless endeavors to arrive at an expansion,” Garafolo composed on X. “Regardless of a new gathering, the Niners haven’t been willing to take part in dealings since May so Aiyuk has deferentially asked out.”
Aiyuk and the 49ers are falling off a fruitful however frustrating effort. The 49ers lost in sad design to the Kansas City Bosses in the 2024 Super Bowl, yet Aiyuk had a colossal year and postseason run.
Presently, San Francisco should sort out a method for expanding Aiyuk’s worth in an exchange. Re-marking him isn’t inconceivable, however it’s unmistakable he’s not sitting around idly for the 49ers. Finding an exchange accomplice will be simple, however San Francisco has lost an arranging power because of Aiyuk’s exchange demand.
Aiyuk and 49ers’ New Gathering
As Garafolo implied in his post, the 49ers and Aiyuk as of late met about the circumstance. On June 26, NFL Organization insider Tom Pelissero made sense of that the different sides had a positive connection towards the finish of June.
“This was a decent gathering,” Pelissero posted on X. “The two sides made statements that should have been said, and they will continue to work. There hasn’t never been an exchange demand from Brandon Aiyuk. That hasn’t changed. The 49ers’ position hasn’t changed either, notwithstanding getting exchange approaches Aiyuk returning to draft week. They are pushing ahead, and they maintain that Aiyuk should be a piece of the group in 2024.”
What that report didn’t specify was that the 49ers had not appropriately haggled in weeks. Everything considered, that gathering might have broadened Aiyuk’s understanding yet not by lengthy. Presently with near 2 months until the 2024 customary season, the 49ers are confronting hard choices not long before the season.
San Francisco Has One Significant Negotiating tool
While an exchange demand is certainly not during the 49ers’ ideal arrangement, they truly do have a significant device in their stockpile: the establishment tag. Back on June 21, ESPN columnist Adam Schefter separated the circumstance.
“The 49ers totally need Brandon Aiyuk back however not at the value he’s chasing,” Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show. “They have without exception needed him back and they were never focused on exchanging him… The 49ers could establishment label Brandon Aiyuk again one year from now assuming they needed to. We should find out what happens when it is in progress to prepare camp.”
