Moved to Las Vegas in’79, and it is amazing how much the city has changed. Goodbye, small desert town, and hello, metropolitan city.

My goodness DK. My coffee has an extra kick. Looking forward to the game tonight and some extra nuggets in the process. I'm still excited, it's been awhile. Thank you DK for all you do.

We can’t give up 2 first rounders for him. I don’t want him to get a huge contract in Pittsburgh

[obviouslyPSM]

Just bought tickets for the Sunday night game against the cowboys! Never had a chance to go to a game in Pitt (traveling in from NJ). So damn excited!

That opening jingle just makes the coffee taste better in the morning! I see the 49ers have added a WR...hmmm

[charlesgates]

The dude is good, I'll give him that...but 30 mil is too much. Metcalf is the guy who gave Jr trouble. Get him. That said, I won't be
I am also wondering if I'm gonna miss Mason. We'll see.

[masrellek]

SanFran wants the same thing outta Cleveland and wanted Cooper from there. At this point, I'm hoping it hasn't become a distraction but if its going to get done..it needs to be done asap. With the history between he and Russ Wilson, I'm surprised they aren't trying for Metcalf more.

Screw the Aiyuk trade, Draft or develop someone already on the roster.

The 49ers just signed another receiver yesterday so something should be about to go down 👇 hahaha! Their wide receiver room is pretty full right now as it stands.

[nolashawn]

To be fair, 49ers Offense would unlock any of our WR/TE’s; and basically double their production. Could hardly blame any player that wanted to leave after being imprisoned by Matt Canada for years.

[MinimalEffort]

Hmm not sure I agree with the J1Q. Most ppl myself included haven’t been saying Aiyuk would be “the solution”. We’ve all been saying we need another receiver, he’s one of the best, and it’ll presumably at least be a 3 year deal. What’s not to be excited about?!

[EAZYSEESALL]

Did we get fair value when Ab went public no did we get fair vaule when dionte asked for a trade under the cover no easy as that

[doobiouscannibis]

Hell yeah, DK! I grabbed some tickets for tonight. I think Imma try to go dahn to the river and say "hi" to Mr. Rooney and get a couple of pictures, especially with my 7 year old, redhead Irish daughter.

Finally saw the recording of The Chief with Tom Atkins the other day. Very good.

[vegastjg]

We moved from the Pittsburgh area to Vegas in 77 it is amazing how much the city has changed, and I love it goodbye rust belt hello tech & medical hub.

When you get a disgruntled player, he will leave disgruntled the same way he came .

[dis]

I want BA bad, but don't want to lose Pickens next year. GP is special and still so young.

[waterinthedesert]

BA legitimately makes the Steelers a 9/10 win team to a 11/12 win team.

[clintdifatta]

Happy Friday, DK! Here we go! Enjoy the game and look forward to hearing your thoughts! Cheers

[crowe]

At first, I could of cared less about getting Aiyuk. The more I think about it the more I realize how much it could really open up things for the offense. freeing up George taking people out of the box the Box. I'm excited about getting him.

[TheBillykurtz]

Going from a 12+% tax to a 3% state income tax is another incentive. That’s about 2.7M difference on 30M contract (hopefully we don’t need to pay him that)
