  4. Season is over and distractions don’t hurt the team at this point. It’s fine now to reveal what happened John. I mean, you and Aiyuk share the same agent.

    * Held in at 2024 training camp
    * Unfollowed the 49ers and scrubbed his social media
    * Said he didn’t want drama in getting an extension done
    * Posted cryptic Instagram stories
    * Wore red shorts at a workout when everyone was supposed to be wearing black shorts
    * Threw a tantrum over the shorts incident
    * Said he wanted to remain a 49er
    * Requested a trade
    * The 49ers gave him permission to seek a trade
    * The 49ers were in talks to trade Aiyuk to the Browns, Patriots, or Steelers

  17. Is there a team out there that would even entertain him and his drama? I think he’s played his last snap in the NFL, not just in SF.

  20. Usually Lynch will say something like “We hope to see him back on the field with us”. This is the definitive he’s DONE, D-O-N-E.

  23. As a non-9er fan, anyone know why he’s been like this? Dude legit gave up his guaranteed money and doesn’t even seem to care so it can’t be because he just wanted to get paid and chill

  24. He said that before we signed him and yet we signed him anyways. He didn’t want to be here. His family even said the same thing after we lost the Super Bowl.

  25. Was exactly the kind of WR that the team needed and then proceed to completely lose his brain during/after the team paying him what he wanted. I’ll never understand the motivation here but so be it. Glad we get a lot of the cap space back and can move on. Have to wonder about the team that picks him up next — he had it all in SF and couldn’t make it work. Who’s signing up for that?

  28. Watching the last two Seattle games made it clear to me how much our offense needed him this year. I have no idea how he could have just sat on the couch this entire season and just abandoned his teammates.

    Someone somewhere will probably give him another shot but I can’t imagine what excuse he can possibly use to excuse his actions.

  30. We need a team that would be stupid enough to trade for him… Maybe the bills ? They’re desperate lol

  34. good riddance. absolute masterclass speedrun is going from one of my favorite niners to my least favorite in a while. enjoy devondre campbell territory in this fanbase’s opinion
