00:00But the big news around the National Football League DRS to start off this Tuesday morning.

00:08Brandon Ayuk embattled with San Francisco officially requesting a trade about a week

00:12and a half, two weeks ahead of the 49ers reporting for training camp with GM John Lynch in San

00:19Fran saying, we're not honoring that request.

00:22Something has changed by the bay.

00:24Adam Schefter of ESPN reporting this in the last half hour.

00:28The San Francisco 49ers are now willing to listen to trade offers for Brandon Ayuk and

00:32have given the star wide receiver permission to negotiate a contract with other teams.

00:38There are a couple of teams that could be involved, like the Cleveland Browns or the

00:44New England Patriots, the RS.

00:46As you look at this situation, as we have seen Brandon Ayuk be unhappy with San Fran

00:52for the entirety of this off season.

00:54How do you think we've reached this point?

00:57Help me out.

00:58Somebody help me out on this situation.

00:59I don't get it because the blueprint here for the NFL is not look at my wide receiver.

01:05We can't pay any of these guys.

01:07Look at how many franchises.

01:08Let's just take a look at the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles.

01:11Two wide receivers, each side monster pay.

01:14And also, oh no, then we can't afford to have a quarterback then because we're going to

01:17have a Brock Purdy come up for a contract extension.

01:21Somebody check in on to a tiger by low with standings right now with his financial institutions.

01:25He made bank.

01:26Same thing with Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia.

01:27How did it get to this point?

01:28And also for the 49ers, why are you not signing this guy young about to just touch his prime

01:35and carry you through in a Super Bowl window and you're saying we're not going to trade

01:38him and case in point number two, Ben, why was this not done at the draft where you can

01:43say to yourself, I'll move him tonight for a first round pick.

01:46I can then trade another pick trade up into the top 10, get a legitimate young wide receiver.

01:51That's going to cost me two or $3 million this year to grow with this team would be

01:55the perfect compliment to Debo Samuel.

01:58How did it get to this point?

01:59You didn't see this coming here.

02:00Did you just figure that he was going to be happy and played $14 million when everybody

02:04around the NFL was getting paid at this point?

02:06I can't understand this.

02:08This would be different than if it was a team like, let's just say the Denver Broncos and

02:11you say, OK, we're not going to make a Super Bowl run.

02:14I'm not going to pay that much money.

02:16You're not worth that much.

02:17Your window is right now for the 49ers and you're not going to pay this guy.

02:21I can't understand what they're doing.

02:23I love that franchise.

02:24I love the general manager and John Lynch.

02:26I love the head coach.

02:27I like the way this team works.

02:29But for Brandon, I have to be traded before training camp actually is basically halfway

02:33underway.

02:34I don't get it.

02:35One bit.
