Kyle Shanahan Explains Why the 49ers Haven't Extended Brandon Aiyuk Yet

Grant Cohn discusses Kyle Shanahan explaining why the San Francisco 49ers haven't extended Brandon Aiyuk yet.

Clips like this keep bringing me back to the "don't give up on Grant just yet" mindset. Good job.

[ricrod]

I'm as patient as they come, and I'm TIRED of this Aiyuk extension talks.

[taylorbarrett]

They aren't waiting for a better offer. They are hoping a WR on another team gets injured, and THEN they get a better offer.

[HMSinCA]

Solid video - like the honest approach to math...hilarious!

[josephgonsalves]

Grant always gives about 30% of the truth. Remember when Aiyuk was going to sign for $26 million. Remember when Aiyuk was willing to take $28 million from Pittsburg. So far every time Aiyuk has asked for something he has eventually got it. And then he wants more. I can't blame him for wanting more and more, but you cannot blame the 49ers.

Grant you have me rolling at my desk!! Lol

Hey Grant

Met you recently and out of all people you seamed the most friendly and humble.. met Brad and he is Awesome! of all the Niners beat reporters. Only guy I have not met was Kruger! Which I’m sure is great! D Lombardi not as friendly but maybe I caught him off guard

[paulburgenstock]

But I did stay at a Holiday Inn!!! 😂😂😂

[jeffcressotti]

Between lance and this Aiyuk saga, grant has a career.

Good point👍they're probably looking for receivers. BA will get traded to Pit bottom line

[TL]

They need to just trade him already. Thats too much money and cap for one wide receiver. Plus this a ridiculous, the final straw, fuck Ayuik. Use the 2019 offensive recipe. Pick up a veteran reciver at the deadline on a losing team like we did with Emmanuel Sanders. Nearly won a superbowl with Jimmy and without a true 1 receiver. We can do it again.

[sbling]

The agent wants to get paid too, so let’s not forget about that lol

[antjawnharrison]

Well go to Pittsburgh lets see if you can get a thousand yards there 🤔

[hennieknot]

Don't trade Aiyuk. He either accepts what the 49ers are offering, be forced to play, or sit out. He's not a free agent yet.

[jbyler]

I think its like $1.1mil better in Pitt. (Not accounting for home/away game diff taxes)
SF $30, 000, 000 - 14.4% (4.32mil) = $25, 800, 000
PIT $28, 000, 000 - 3.7% (1.04mil) = $26, 960, 000

[Sugarnaut]

Niners players always overstate their value to the rest of the teams in the league. Remember when nobody wanted Jimmy? Keep Aiyuk and if they can’t win the Super Bowl this year they gotta blow the team up anyway.

[josephgonsalves]

It will be interesting to see how that business attitude holds up when he starts missing $1.7 million a week ($30 million over 17 games). That is money that will never be made up no matter what he signs for.

[ClydeCashMoney]

Not gonna lie. Trading Lance was a mistake. Hes looking better than all of Brocks backups combined 💀

[Nofashists]

No it not “business”, AB is NOT a free agent, still has a year left on his five year contract, make him play or sit,

[seanracine]

What if BA decides not to get fined and goes on the field and just doesn’t try and drop passes on purpose
