I’m letting him go because he pisses down his leg and shits the bed against teams above .500 and in the playoffs. You don’t pay a B level player A+ money, especially when he gives you C level quality when it matters.
They do waive them, a no trade clause is just a tool to pick the team you're traded to.
And you just learned this now. In my opinion you've already hitched your wagon. And my timeline is the same as your timeline. Just costs more money and has more wins in the meantime.
No, it’s not, because I’m letting him walk after the season, not paying him and then eating 2-3 more years of this crap. Dump him and avoid the “what happens next with Dak??” media talk, because that’s all they’ll talk about the moment he signs, and the triple the volume when he fails again in the playoffs.
So you won't even have a young QB to develop in 2025. You don't have the picks to do it. So you're drafting your guy probably in 2026. Or you took a mediocre QB in 2025 and waste the next 2 years after finding out he is trash.
You seem to think that this organization will attempt to groom a young QB with Dak under a massive new contract. I’m 100% certain that won’t happen.
Even a massive new contract is only a 4 year deal. Dak isn't signing anything longer than that.
How long do you give someone to prove their worth?. Dak has used stats on inferior opponents in the league to continually push his cost to the being the best in the league. What has it yielded except a wait till next tear mentality?. It is now to where the team seemingly can’t do without him.Are you okay paying him to have a decent year because I should think by now it should be clear that he isn’t in the category of a bringing home the bacon.
The likelihood of them trading him is near zero, so it has little to do with the idea of letting him walk being “retarded”. Jerry is too stupid to do the right thing, which would be to let him pick a team to be traded to and send him there. But he’d be equally as stupid to sign him to an extension because that would guarantee that we won’t draft a QB for 2-3 more years, which truly is fucking retarded, poor comp pick value or otherwise. You let him leave, because keeping him puts you in draft purgatory. You’ll never suck enough for a good pick, and you’ll never win anything of note. And, he’ll suck up so much of the cap where we’ll have no money to sign anyone else, even if we wanted to.
The liklihood of them trading him is zero. That's true, doesn't make it the right choice but I agree. Just like Jerry isn't going to let him walk out the door with no contract either. The only reason there is a chance of Dak walking out the door is because Jerry may not have a choice if Dak tells him to fuck off. Jerry can't franchise him and he can't force him to sign a new deal. If Dak wants out, he can be out.
Aiyuk should get a lot less than CeeDee, though. I don't think he's in the same class of WR.
Not sure about that. 49ers run the ball way more and Aiyuk has improved every year like Lamb. He also averaged almost 18 yards per catch in 2023.
Aiyuk had a fantastic season and he knows he owed a good portion of it to the rest of the offense creating opportunities. He is a strong WR talent, but not one who would lead the league in any category were he not on the 49ers.
