Expand I agree that Aiyuk to washjngton makes sense for Washington. Not sure if it makes sense for the niners unless they think Dotson can be a legit threat in their offense. The niners want a good WR in return + pick/s.

None of it matters as Watson is horrible. He is at best the 11th QB in the AFC and the worst QB in the division now that Steelers have Wilson. Only the Colts, Raiders, Denver, Titans, and Pats have worse situations. Best move they made all off season was signing Jameis Winston. He will probably be starting by week 8. No QB and unproven coach Expand Shirley you can’t be serious stating as fact that Watson’s productive career is over. Shirley you can’t be serious in pretending that Wilson has a better chance at resurgence than Watson. And Shirley you can’t be serious completely writing off Richardson after a few games.

Then he backpedaled about Richardson. What would he have said about the Texans QB situation 365 days ago? The bottom line is that some things are unknown and that’s just the way it is. I’m no fan of Watson but people being angry at him does not cause their desires for his career trajectory to magically manifest. Edited August 7, 2024 by 4merper4mer
Logic Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 All indications this morning are that it's gonna be the Steelers, who have been the betting favorites for months anyway.
MikePJ76 Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 (edited) I want to go on the record that the niners will replace aiyuk and continue to run their offense (once everyone is healthy and returns) and basically not miss a beat and the team that pays aiyuk 30 million and gives up draft picks two years from now will be wondering how to get out of his contract. just my opinion. Certain players look like the number 1 wr that everyone talks about instantly, I do not in my humble opinion see that in aiyuk. Malik Nabers has that look about him already and hasn't played a game yet. Trading for these guys is always the wrong move. Edited August 7, 2024 by MikePJ76

Expand Oh, I didn't know the 49ers were trying to get another WR in return to go along with compensation in picks. No one is going to give them that. Aiyuk will likely be stuck this year then. I imagine that the demands are just a ploy by SF to keep Aiyuk and say "we tried".

Big Blitz Posted August 7, 2024 Posted August 7, 2024 I sure hope CMC’s calf is ok. Maybe they’re getting Warren in return.

I imagine they make a secondary move or use the cuts to add a wr. their system will make most wr productive.

Weird spot to want to go to Expand They are a successful organization when you look at their history. They have 6 Super Bowl wins overall. Just three head coaches since 1969. Knoll, Cowher, and Tomlin. Tomlin is a good HC. He has never had a losing season with the Steelers. The Steelers are usually in the mix for the division or WC most years.

That’s nearly 13 yards per target which is absolutely incredible for someone who gets a high volume of passes his way.
