WR Brandon Aiyuk, SF (2 Viewers)

[beef]

We won't see him for ar least a year.

Probably won’t be relevant until 2026

Which will be his last year in SF if he doesn't restructure.

The injury sucks for both Aiyuk and SF. The timing is even worse, not that there is ever a good time for an injury but it seems so many things have gone wrong.

Aiyuk is still a fantastic receiver and would have been paid whether it was SF or not. SF is better when Aiyuk is playing. He does everything SF asks, including blocking very well.

The SF offense hasn't been hitting on full with CMC out, Deebo in an out as well as Aiyuk holding out and obviously now injured.

Not much else to say here other than Aiyuk is a very very good WR and he's a great fit for this offense. I still think it was the right thing to do to re-sign him and no one can predict a significant knee injury like this. He's only 26 and will be back.

[Rapoport] 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk does, in fact, have a torn ACL and MCL, per sources after the MRI. There may be other damage. His season is over, with a long road back for 2025. This is what coach Kyle Shanahan and SF believed following the game.

Good thing he held out for that huge payday.

Bad thing the 49ers gave in on that huge payday.

I’m for Aiyuk on that one, sorry.

That’s EXACTLY why players hold out for their bag. It can end any minute so get it while you can.

There needs to be a middle ground because now the team is screwed paying for a player they don't have for a year.

I think there should be built-in injury clauses in contracts. A player gets their entire salary as long as they're healthy, but if they get injured, their pay gets adjusted for time missed. If a player makes $20 mil/yr and gets a season ending injury week 8, he gets half his salary for that season. Miss 4 games? You lose 4 games of pay.

I know that'll never happen, but I think something needs to be done to make it fair for both sides.

Nah, but the organization should get some sort of salary cap relief

Only if they insure against it which I tend to doubt.

Would love for him to land in Washington and pair with Daniels, but that would be too good to be true for holders.
