The new team would then have to pay the $22.85m bonus right away so good luck with that.  They're stuck with him.

[Kirby Jackson]

I’m out after the injury. A year ago, I was all for it. You can’t pay that and not know what you’re getting.

[davefan66]

Yeah..not paying the roster bonus for him.

 

Unless there are ways to mitigate it.

[Warriorspikes51]

He tore his ACL last October. Is 27

Sure, is trade a 5th for aiyuk + 2nd. 

 

You're paying someone to take a risk and the $$.

4th and 6th for Aiyuk and a 3rd

Reminder, his contract is very palatable for a #1 WR and even with the injury, still is considering the Diggs deal.  Don’t discount somebody taking a swing.  Doubtful it will be the Bills, but I would have taken that deal over  Palmer.

Seems like a planted rumor out from SF trying to get a team to put in an offer with a made up ultimatum.  SF would like to get someone to trade prior to a large payment going out to Aiyuk, don't see how SF paying him takes him off the trade market though.

It'd never happen. And that's too much. Aiyuk is #4 playing as a #2.

Aiyuk was / maybe still is a legit #1 WR depending on recovery

Unless, of course, you're the Patriots. 

 

And I agree with you.  An Aiyuk trade is a bad idea unless he's acquired at negative value (player +, say, 5 for a 2).  The Diggs signing is stupid.

I was thinking either SF or Aiyuk/agent are trying to generate a trade

if he can get his contract worked out for us, and didn't cost to much i'd do it.  he would make the team better or the same at every position (assuming we get a starting cb and DT in the draft) than what we were last season, including having two real outside threats at WR.

 

i think this is more smoke than fire tho.

[Bills!Win!]

What a dumpster fire that team has become. They built such a good solid team and it’s all been wasted

they have the opposite issue we have, tons of top tier blue chip talent and a weak qb.  

[Mark Vader]

Stefon Diggs 2.0, and that's being kind to Diggs.

 

You don't believe me? Look at how many unsportsmanlike penalties this guy has racked up. 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I was totally against signing this guy last year. A mid receiver that looks good in a shanahan offense. Now, after an ACL… 

 

Most of these San Fran skill players are pretty mediocre if you take them out of that offense. 

No, thanks.

It would be, if he were a bonafide #1. He's more of a top end #2, imo. I'm not sure he's an upgrade over Diggs even considering age.
