Agent did a great job

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that Aiyuk accepted a deal that had been on the table since Aug. 10. He was staging a hold-in throughout training camp and the preseason, but according to Schefter, it ultimately didn't change the deal in the end.

Oh I thought he only signed the deal they already placed before

Yeah he evidently was hard negotiating holding out even for weeks after being offered 30 mil. That’s why some people seem to forget the players have to actually sign contracts for GMs to get them done.

SF messed up....just like Dallaa and .Minnesota.  Miami, Detroit and Philly got it right.

So how did the Niners mess up according to No Mas?

Time for qb1 to show he's worth 255 mil. He's got everything at his disposal on offense this year

I agree hope he doesn’t feel too much pressure. I worry about our depth at TE.

What was my main sticking point about that? A third WR! That was addressed. Think that at least gets us in that contender territory. Not going ‘all in.’ But fielding  tough team for the league to deal with.

So one guy that can maybe get 400-500 yards was the one guy that meant we weren't all in? ONE guy???. If we aren't all in you need your head examined. Even without Dotson we would still be all in. We would just find different ways to get it done. Dotson is icing on the cake. It's not like we had a POS RB and missing an outside WR and our TE was MEH with a crap O  The D should really be much better now and why would Howie bother to go get Dotson,other than the fact we are ALL IN???? Why would be do it?

You find it coincidental that we extended both AJ and DSmith and signed Bark to a 3 year deal?. You know, the 3 premier positions any teams QB needs

A year later... those teams messed up.  You are looking at 2 weeks.... this was a deal that could have been done last March.

We just obviously see things very different. You endlessly stated how last seasons team was the best in the league…with poor coaching, no LBs…not much at S. So yes I’ll very much hold to my own opinions on what it takes to win an NFL Championship. Last year’s squad wasn’t doing it. This year’s team is good. Getting that third WR I believe did get us over the hump to make this te a contender. ‘All in’ .,,is a whole other level. You lack imagination.

All these WR were waiting on Jefferson to break the bank. The leverage on negotiations for WR as very strong around Jefferson signing…even if slightly before. Also though…looking at Aiyuck…was he that guy worth just paying like that after 2022? He made a fairly significant jump in 2023.

Niners paid big bucks to Nick Bosa last offseason. Stole our disruptive DT Hargrave with a big contract last year.

But No Mas at least you seem to be showing some understanding of how a GM really can’t be judged on one offseason. Just doesn’t work that way.

But yeah I don’t think signing Aiyuck to that contract was a great move…even with me obviously pointing out how I was high on his talents on his draft day.

I mean... you deny this ????    You don't remember the negotiation all offseason?   You puff your chest out as a closet SF fan due to the last 2 weeks?    OMG August 10th... lol   SF F#$%ed up!    First not doing a a deal last offseason, secondly not offering the $27 mil right away this offseason.  

Their arrogance as an organization... not only did they mess up with Aiyuk... not paying Trent Williams is just ignorant.  

Again... doing contracts is a separate thing.  The players are already here... you don't have the decision of using assets to get them, you already do.  From there you control.  You wait and it costs money.... instead the smart move that you were ripping just like the idiot who wrote the " indebtedness" article.  Clueless.  Lock the guys up early, way better in the long run. 

SF is screwing themselves big time.  

Retaining Aiyuck wasn’t a great value signing. It was clearly a ‘All in’ signing though. To be serious about getting the job done this season they need him. Without him could they have won the West and stacked up well against NFC competition? Yeah…I think so.

Again... you have your head so far up John Lynch's butt.    He messed up!   But per usual ...you will play dumb that SF could have offered the $27 in April and gotten the deal done. 

Keep gloating about the August 10th offer.... yep, thats when this started...lol

In April when they could have signed him for $27 mil per... he wouldn't have been as bad.   Last year, he would have been way less.   

But hey... August 10th baby...puff out the chest Johnny boy!  

John Lynch best GM in the NFL.   Contracts and QB ... those minor details aside... but hey, LB

Yeah I don’t believe this story is accurate. There was talk that a team or two were talking paying Aiyuck 32 mil-ish. Think I heard it leaked the Pats were willing to aggressively back up the trick for him. What reason or proof is there Aiyuck would have signed for 27 mil? Heck he’s been refusing 30 for weeks now. It all really depends on how the contract is written anyway. This generic 30 mil per can be real…or mostly BS. I haven’t seen the exact breakdown yet.

Hey... Trent Williams $50 mil per... not a great value signing but its all in....lol

I don’t know this to be true whatsoever

Paying up on a 36 year old is pretty much the definition of ‘all in.’

Wow.... well... this is why its difficult to have a conversation with you.  You deny stuff that was obvious afterwards and pretend like it never happened.   Like when my son hit his sister right in front of me... " I didn't do it"   lol

Whatever works for you my man.   Go 49ers!  

All the evidence I’ve been seeing has suggested Aiyuck has been in it to play hard ball all the way. It’s seemed like he just wasn’t going to sign up until TC was over.
