Video: Brandon Aiyuk is Back
picking up Brandon Aiyuk off the waiver wire in the Flock League this morning... Brandon Aiyuk met with the Niners on Friday to begin hammering out a path toward a divorce... the Niners are going, 'Hey, you nut job. You owe us $13 million.'... I'm imagining that Brandon Aiyuk's going to have to pay them back some of this money, and then maybe San Francisco will let him walk... there's a strong argument that you can make that you just need to go ahead and you just need to trade away Brandon Aiyuk and a long-term running back piece such as JaMycal Hasty.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Aiyuk seeking 49ers exit; owes $13M; speculative waiver add only.

Aiyuk met with the 49ers on Friday to negotiate a separation after a 2+ year dispute; the Niners are reportedly demanding he repay $13 million from his contract before they will release him. Aiyuk wants to play for another team, and the speaker speculates he may have to pay back some money before San Francisco lets him walk. The speaker is picking him up on waivers in the Flock League as a speculative add, acknowledging the most likely outcome is he remains "legit nothing" and should not be pursued in most leagues. The speaker also suggests trading away Aiyuk as part of a package deal (paired with a long-term running back piece like JaMycal Hasty) to acquire better immediate production at RB or WR, as the team is 3-5 and needs short-term wins, making him expendable.
