The San Francisco 49ers are in the midst of a major offseason negotiation with Brandon Aiyuk, but one team legend is not optimistic about the future. The 49ers receiver is coming off a banner season, but former San Francisco TE Vernon Davis understands why he might leave.
In a June 28 Sporting News article from Patrick McAvoy, Davis explained his logic: it’s all about the money.
“Well, you know it’s easy to predict and say they will let him go or say they’re going to keep him,” Davis said. “I think it all depends on the numbers. It’s a numbers game. … In my mind, I would say that they’re going to let him go. That’s what I would say.”
Losing Aiyuk would be a major loss to the current roster, but the 49ers are in a position to get something in return. Receivers like Aiyuk are hard to come by, so he would likely fetch a high price if San Francisco has to trade him.
It won’t be an easy pill to swallow, but the 49ers have to be ready to make a move whether or not he decides to re-sign.
