Rich Eisen on Whether a Brandon Aiyuk Trade to the Browns or Patriots Make More Sense

Why do they keep using pictures of Mike Tomlin in a 49ers jersey?

They don’t want to trade him and I think he’s letting his agent make a mistake just for more money. He was willing to sign for 26 million a year and his agent said to wait. According to Aiyuk on the podcast with Ryan Clark.

Brockman is delusional. The 49ers had put together a Super Bowl contender before they drafted Purdy. When they signed Jimmy G to a new deal after trading him he was actually briefly the highest paid QB in the NFL, so it’s not like they were pinching Pennies either. Purdy has given them more wriggle room, but the majority of the pieces were already in place. New England is nothing like that. They have almost nothing. One high priced WR isn’t going to do much.

It does not surprise me that the 49er's are showing this much respect to Aiyuk. The GM is a former player. The interaction between Lynch and Aiyuk on the first day of training camp looked professional and respectful by both.

Brockman might have been in to something this whole time

They should let him go. The amount player payroll has gone up with QB’s and WRs lately is INSANE.

Red flag for him was joint practice with the Vikings and he said it was stupid and didn't help him at all.

I really hope they find a way to work it out and keep Aiyuk! I love him as a player. His skillset, blocking, and just straight up Dog that gets them boys going too.

Go to Cleveland and play in arguably the hardest division in football…makes a lot of sense 🤣🤣🤣

I was thinking Higgins would have been a Patriot when he held out. Aiyuk would be better fit as a Patriot than a Brown.

He has said he wants to go to shitzburgh if he had his way. Browns fans don't want him after that statement.

Acknowledging that the trade possibility is in play, I don't think any of these discussions have credibility. Two facts are clear. 10 The 49ers have complete control, with Aiyuk being committed to them by contract. 2) An offer of multiple years must be agreed to in order to make it more than a rental. Add the level that receiver contracts have risen means the trading team must give a huge haul for no guarantee of longevity. Cleveland has Cooper and draft picks which makes them the odds on favorite if San Francisco wants to deal.

49ers fans weren’t all that surprised by Jauan Jennings, he’s one of their secret weapons. His stats aren’t amazing but he makes clutch plays every single week and has the best attitude. Too bad that didn’t rub off on Aiyuk

Imagine if the teams that want to trade him also don’t want to pay him 30 million

Cooper and a pick is great value for the Niners

NFL is going to be in big trouble if the start giving QBs 55 to 60 mil and receivers 25 to 30. How is anyone else getting paid?

The Browns have less than $14,000,000 in cap space.

ONLY AT THE LIQUER STORE 😂😂😂😂.

He ain’t getting traded it’s all show. Testing the waters

The Browns trade is the right answer for all three parts involved if the money works
