Not to jinx it, but it\u2019s been a few days since we\u2019ve seen San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk post on social media. There\u2019s no telling what\u2019s going through Aiyuk\u2019s brain when he\u2019s posting these videos and taking shots at the organization<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What he\u2019s failing to realize is that it\u2019s costing him millions and his chances of playing in the league again. NFL Insider Jason La Canfora<\/a> has compiled quotes from executives around the league. Unsurprisingly, the people in a position to pay Aiyuk are souring on the receiver.<\/p>\n

La Canfora said, \u201cNFL front offices at this point have serious reservations about Aiyuk being in the right mindset on and off the field to contribute.\u201d<\/p>\n

It turns out that posting yourself doing donuts on a racetrack after a warrant for your arrest<\/a> was issued for speeding is not what a general manager would want to see. Shocking, I know.<\/p>\n

One executive told La Canfora, \u201cI couldn\u2019t bring him into my locker room with my quarterback.\u201d That would be a worry for a team with a young or inexperienced quarterback. As Richard Sherman pointed out<\/a>, what if things don\u2019t go Aiyuk\u2019s way early on? Does he lash out? There\u2019s no way to know he would, but all you can do is use the information he shares in the videos, and it doesn\u2019t paint Aiyuk in a positive light.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another quote from La Canfora:<\/p>\n

A top executive from a team that has continued to pursue the receiver market told me Aiyuk is not a consideration for him at this point, even on the minimum contract, and the 49ers have long since given up on getting anything in trade.<\/p>\n

John Lynch would say publicly that the 49ers were holding out hope that a team would give them something in return for Aiyuk, but that went out the door after Aiyuk\u2019s first public video. Now that there have been several instances in which he\u2019s spoken the way that he is, the Niners are well aware that they\u2019re not receiving any compensation in return for Aiyuk.<\/p>\n

The only question that\u2019s left is how long they hold on to Aiyuk. Still, with everything that\u2019s transpired, some team will likely give him a shot on a minimum deal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Not to jinx it, but it\u2019s been a few days since we\u2019ve seen San Francisco 49ers wide receiver…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":216791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,8376,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-384393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-49ers-news","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384393\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
