BREAKING: Brandon Aiyuk has officially requested a trade from the 49ers, per confirmation from my San Francisco source. Benjamin Allbright & 49ersSportsTalk have also done some preliminary reporting on this story. As of Sunday morning, April 14, the Steelers have been the most aggressive in pursuing a trade for Aiyuk, with the Ravens also expressing interest. My source indicates there’s a 3rd ‘mystery team’ that is coming on strong for Aiyuk, but they refused to divulge any further information. Overall… WOW. Fireworks coming.
@LegendSports7 I think bills are definitely a team discussing with 9ers. Making it an extension on his 5th year. They can handle the $14 million. Likely may have the 9ers handle part of it
@FF_mbryan4445 @LegendSports7 It’ll be a lot cheaper to take somebody in the draft. The Bills don’t have a ton of cap space and 14 million isn’t pocket change. I think we’re looking to build a younger roster that we can ride for two or three years. Of course, I could be totally wrong.
@ontarioskeptic @LegendSports7 Maybe but I got the feeling Diggs was sent packing. Not for money but because of internal problems. I got the impression they wanted the War1 just didn’t want his issues
@FF_mbryan4445 @LegendSports7 It is hard to say, because they ate some money on him, which could indicate they were willing to pay to get rid of him.
@ontarioskeptic @FF_mbryan4445 @LegendSports7 That money was already spent. It was guaranteed. They also received 19mil in cash. That's the money Houston is paying him. Don't sleep on the Bills.
@ontarioskeptic @LegendSports7 Kinda my thought. He was becoming an issue they wanted gone. Aiyuk has been pretty professional in the process and that sits well around the league imo
