Mr. WEO

that may play well on that first round of golf in early February. Once or twice is random way close games go. 3 of the last 4 is a clear pattern. The coaching mismatch has been documented on this site endlessly. No need to pretend it does not exist.

no one cares about regular season head to head. Bills have been bounced form the playoffs 3 (2 close games) of the past 4 seasons by Reid and the Chiefs (2 SB wins in that time).

Brown was productive for one season. Once Diggs got there, Brown was immediately irrelevant. Beasley soon faded as well.

corrected

they say Brady sat when he leaked...

Since when is Diggs an "NFL exec"?

Bills Daddy #1.

The salary cap is "adjusted upward" every year. Teams in no income tax states play a good amount of games in income taxed states and vice versa. No players pay no state taxes. Teams in no tax states (Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Washington, Nevada), other than maybe the Bucs, have not sniffed a SB in years. Teams from heavily taxed states dominate (Cali, Missouri, Pennsylvania-- even throw the Bills in there for NY). There is no competitive advantage to having no state income tax. It's how you manage your budget/roster that matters.

something tells me this guy bet save every penny from this rookie contract....

It's just Beane's jealousy getting the best of him....

They are right...Diggs has lost several steps in fact Josh is no fool. He'd had enough.

in every case the team had clearly already considered a trade--how else did they find a partner so quick. Lynch, like Diggs, had become a problem. Diggs didn't even have to "request a trade"--they just shipped him. In the 49ers case--they aren't even talking to Aiyuk's reps. They feel they don't have to. Are you really suggesting that his request is the first time they have considered trading him?? Or that they didn't expect that would be his next move? under what rock....?

Deebo playoff dud. 12 games, 288 total rushing, 638 receiving. 3 TDs. Last SB 11 targets, 3 catches, 33 yards. 3 carries for 8 yards. 2022 in conf championship game, 6 carries for -9 yards, 3 catches 33 yards. Kittle not much impact. 12 games, avg under 40 yards per. 2 career TD.

he was a locker room cancer

fixed that post for you--the answer is right there. that and it's obvious the team already has considered it before it was requested. the simple fact remains that the team doesn't have to honor the request--and because of this, the request serves no purpose.

Granting permission to seek a trade is like granting permission to seek parole. The player can say “I want to be traded to the X’s”. It doesn’t matter. His team will decide where he goes or if he is traded at all. That’s it. I truly don’t know why some of you are struggling with this. Players don’t make trades—even if they ask very politely.

i never strayed from it--- i've repeated it several times, in fact. you keep reiterating all of the options the 49ers have. no one disputes them. nah...teams trade players. players don't trade teams. as such, I'm sure the 49ers already have discussed this with possible trade partners in order to weight the value they get in return and weigh it against paying him or franchising him. the player wouldn't be part of those discussions. he may prefer to to go to this other team or that, but it's not up to him.

no on punts on 3rd down...

no one is disagreeing with the obvious. all i have said is him demanding a trade changes nothing--it's an empty act. they already assumed he would say this and clearly have considered a trade as a routine option in this situation. that's what is being discussed.

Diggs "forced a trade"?? lol---they were so keen to get rid of him at that point that they ate 31 million! come on, you're not serious--show me where Diggs demanded a trade. The Packers absolutely toyed with Rodgers over that whole offseason trade saga. Then they The NFL will never be anything like the NFL. Get back to us when a very top NFL player (that was Rodgers a couple years ago maybe). That trade, for the Jets, has been a total zero.--and a boon to the Packers. Recall the Packers toyed with Rodgers and his trade that whole off-season. And this is for a guy at the very end of his career. I don't know what their play is, ultimately. It doesn't matter to this conversation: the point of which is that they have all their options open to them. He can play or not get paid. That is the opposite of leverage. The larger picture is the team feels they have no need to come to the table--understanding the player's extremely limited option list. Everyone understands a deal "would be in both their interests". That's why it's called a deal, in fact. Everyone understands that if they don't come to an agreement, the player is traded, forced to honor his contract (he may hold out) or franchised. Requesting or even "demanding a trade" changes none of this. The 49ers (any team, really) would have expected this and already considered it. Aiyuk is under contract. Samuel has 2 more years left on his.

Aiyuk is going to get his generational wealth no matter what. Requesting a trade doesn’t get him there. Also, he’s not a problem in the way Diggs was. The Bills dumped him and the fans yawned. 49ers have the same 4 options all teams do: extend him, make him play out his contract, trade him or cut him. Obviously the last one doesn’t happen. But Aiyuk either shows up or he doesn’t get paid. He signed a contract…he has no leverage. 49ers aren’t going to come crawling to the table because he asked for a trade. 49ers fans aren’t getting riled up over that request. Why would they? They know how this goes. it’s been such for a while now. Same with Deebo. The 49ers aren’t sweating it. This is the modern NFL.

the 49ers would be the ones already fielding offers. A player can’t arrange a trade.

These disputes never hurt the team. Fans get pissed at the player. The 49ers already are very confident in whatever their current position is, considering all known options—-so much so they won’t even come to the table at this point. Theres no upside. They hold multiple cards. He holds one—a very expensive one for him to play

Lol

in the top 2, the 2nd guy signed is always going to get more...
