Jed York says it’s a good problem when your QB in one of your highest-paid players

Photo by Ethan Miller/ York says the market will tell the 49ers what to pay Brock Purdy One reason why it makes little sense for the San Francisco 49ers to trade wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk is because of the chemistry he has with quarterback Brock Purdy. That duo was one of the most efficient and explosive in the NFL during the 2023 regular season. The Niners will need to pay Aiyuk at some point this offseason. They’re a year away from paying their quarterback. The 49ers have used Purdy’s rookie contract to their advantage. They’ve extended their best players and...

Golden Nuggets: Start your Wednesday with a Brock Purdy pep talk

Your daily San Francisco 49ers news for Wednesday, March 27th, 2024 Why Aiyuk contract extension is vital for 49ers QB Purdy “Shanahan said he saw Aiyuk last week, as they were both staying in the same hotel in Cabo San Lucas, a vacation spot at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. Shanahan says he tries to remove himself from all the drama of contract talks while Lynch and chief negotiator Paraag Marathe deal with Aiyuk’s representation. The contract situation with Aiyuk could follow much the same path as multi-year second contracts San Francisco has...

This Brandon Aiyuk thing is strange, but nothing like Antonio Brown watch

This Brandon Aiyuk thing is strange, but nothing like Antonio Brown watch

Photo by Shelley Lipton/Icon Sportswire via The offseason had something to look forward to every morning and that was one Antonio Brown I’m going to go off on a limb and say the market for Brandon Aiyuk slowly drying up. It’s not gone, but the options are certainly limiting themselves. The entire trade thing is strange, however. Instagram posts, cryptic answers to questions, follows unfollows. The 49ers are the center of it all. Kinda reminiscent of another time. A “watch” if you will. Instead of the Steelers inquiring about Aiyuk and Aiyuk posting some...

With all the talk over the last several days being centered around the Steelers’ potential interest in San Francisco 49ers receiver Brandon Aiyuk, as well as Aiyuk himself posting directly at Mike Tomlin on X, Steelers fans are putting together their bulletin boards and connecting pieces trying to figure out what a trade...

Is Drake Jackson on the bubble? Mailbag (paywall) “Bartch is the dark horse. He suffered a serious knee injury in 2022 and was still rounding into form in 2023.

Jaguars Poll OTW: What would you give up in a trade for WR Brandon Aiyuk?

Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/ In this week’s poll, we want to know what you think the Jaguars should be willing to give up in a trade for 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk Welcome back, Jags Pollsters! This past week, we asked you how you would grade the Jacksonville Jaguars’ moves during the first week of free agency. Though the poll remains open, 57% of you thus far have given the Jags a B for their recent acquisitions. For many of you, the biggest detriment to their grade is the lack of a true WR1 after the departure of Calvin Ridley, and analysts tend to agree. Hence,...

Photo by Steph Chambers/ Could the star receiver be Pittsburgh bound? The Pittsburgh Steelers have been wheeling and dealing since the beginning of the new league year. They’ve acquired the likes of Russell Wilson, Justin Fields, and Patrick Queen, while simultaneously trading away Diontae Johnson and Kenny Pickett. And guess what? They may not be done. San Francisco 49ers star receiver Brandon Aiyuk hasn’t posted on X in nearly a year, but he took to the social media platform and posted at Mike Tomlin, joking that fans have noted they look alike. @CoachTomlin...

Report: The Steelers are the latest team to have shown interest in 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk

Photo by Focus on Sport/ Aiyuk tweeting Mike Tomlin won’t help Another day, another rumor involving San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. The Niners' No. 1 receiver has recently been linked to the Jacksonville Jaguars in a deal in which the 49ers allegedly asked for the Jags' first-round pick. Jacksonville isn’t the only AFC team interested in the No. 1 receiver on the 49ers. The Pittsburgh Steelers traded Diontae Johnson to the Carolina Panthers, opening up a hole at receiver. Pittsburgh has been one of the most active teams in the NFL since the new...

Report: 49ers’ asked the Jaguars for pick No. 17, plus a player, in exchange for Brandon Aiyuk

Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ The 49ers asked for the Jaguars No. 17 overall pick and Zay Jones, but the Jaguars soured on the deal. Last week, a report surfaced that there was mutual interest between San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s camp and the Jacksonville Jaguars, who recently lost Calvin Ridley in free agency to the Tennesee Titans. One reason the 49ers would shop Aiyuk is that his asking price is higher than they would be willing to pay. So, instead of forking out cash for the receiver they developed into an elite weapon at a...

Report: There’s mutual interest between Brandon Aiyuk’s camp and the Jaguars

Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ Let the rumor mill churn Rumors are flying, and it’s tough to tell what’s true and what’s not in this day and age. When it comes to the San Francisco 49ers, hearing about them offering wide receiver Deebo Samuel in a trade makes sense, given their salary cap situation and his contract. That doesn’t mean the 49ers are down on Samuel. This is a business, and when you make an offseason plan or map out what will get you back to the Super Bowl, dealing one of your better players, while difficult, might be what’s best...

Why the 49ers have a better chance of keeping Brandon Aiyuk this offseason

Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ You can thank a bump in the salary cap There seem to be daily updates about Brandon Aiyuk's contract as we approach the free agency. Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Mike Evans was thought to have an impact on the receiver market, but the soon-to-be 31-year-old isn’t apples to apples when you look at Aiyuk’s situation. Evans signed a two-year deal worth $52 million, including $35 million guaranteed. That’s not the deal the San Francisco 49ers should be looking to get out in front of. Justin Jefferson and CeeDee Lamb, other...
