What are they cooking?
When was the last time we had this much cap room going into our future? Having a QB room with such a small cap hit helps tremendously.
They didn’t really need breathing room, they already had $12 million. So this really could be indicative of *something* in the works.
Aiyuk or Sutton inbound?
LET. HIM. COOK.
Right before the draft 👀
Brandon <3 my beloved.
There definitely is something cooking. I saw one outlet say that now we have enough cap space to fit Sutton if we trade for him. I’m not sure who the target is but they’re definitely getting someone to fill a hole. Things are getting SPICY.
Based on the smoke, Simmons, Aiyuk, or Sutton could be in play, hopefully in that order.
I think it’s Courtland Sutton for pennies on the dollar in trade capital. Like a 3rd for a 4th pick swap or something like that

Give me Aiyuk or give me death
Brandon Aiyuk get ready to learn Yinzer, buddy.
Aiyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuk
The first shoe….
Aiyuk ctespn confirmed
Amon-Ra St. Brown just got paid $30 million a year. That absolutely changes the 49ers and their negotiations with Aiyuk for an extension.
Steelers could be willing to pay him that much given the insane amount of cap space they have the next couple of years.
Niners could wait and release him next year, but given Shanahan is a God at scheming receivers open I could see them being willing to replace Aiyuk with a solid rookie.
Are we getting BA?? I am actually stoked to watch the draft lol
If I had to put money on it, it would be a Courtland Sutton trade is immenent.

CAP GOD DOES IT AGAIN
Brandon Aiyuk, welcome to the show.
It’s happening…
Now WHO is it going to be?
They have to have a move ready to go for 2 simple reasons:
This restructure could have happened at any time. It didn’t have a deadline.
Also, why push cap money into the future for no reason?
I have a feeling it’s Sutton, which I’m good with. Should cost less in picks and money. Ayuik would be great, but I just don’t see the 49ers trading him given their window
Justin Herbert! Come on down!
My guess is that they are working on an extension for Fields that pays him, but front loads it a bit while their cap is good. That way it balances across a few years.
I heard Kahn built a time machine is trading a 6th round pick for Prime Tom Brady. Same sources as all the Aiyuk sources so you know we won’t hear conflicting reports every 12 hours for the next 3 months.
