The long offseason drama circulating San Francisco with wide receiver Brandon Ayuk has now officially
00:09
reached its destination.
00:11
Ayuk will remain by the bay with a very large new contract, signing a four-year $120 million
00:19
deal yesterday with the 49ers, $30 million per year, one of six wideouts now in the $30
00:26
million club around the National Football League.
00:29
DRS, the offseason timeline is too confusing to even try to detail here for Brandon Ayuk,
00:34
but he was unhappy.
00:36
He requested a trade officially.
00:37
He was reaching out to his former college teammate, Jayden Daniels, from their days
00:41
together at Arizona State, saying, love what you guys are doing with the Commanders.
00:45
He was a hold-in at camp for the 49ers, but was trying to get the deal done.
00:50
It is now a done deal.
00:52
What is your reaction?
00:54
All roads led to this.
00:55
And if you're following along here on the early line, we told you multiple times, Brandon
00:59
Ayuk is probably going to wind up being a 49er, because why?
01:02
It was in the best interest of Brandon Ayuk and also the San Francisco 49ers.
01:06
Just have to work out those details.
01:07
I wasn't buying into, oh, no, C.D. Lamb and Justin Jefferson getting these big deals.
01:12
There's no way they can sign him, because here's what was going to happen.
01:15
He wasn't going to play this season.
01:17
Like, he was going to hold out.
01:18
It's either, A, you traded him or paid him here.
01:21
And once we saw the tea leaves bend, about what, three to four weeks ago, we're like,
01:25
hey, we got deals in place with the Washington Commanders, with the New England Patriots,
01:29
with the Pittsburgh Steelers, and with the Cleveland Browns.
01:32
Pick one of those teams.
01:33
We like the compensation back, and apparently, they're going to pay you the money that you're
01:36
worth.
01:37
But also thinking back, the 49ers are a smart organization.
01:40
Go out there.
01:41
Find what you're worth.
01:42
We don't have to trade you if we don't want to.
01:44
And if those four teams work out contracts, we'll then measure those contracts up against
01:48
what we have and see if we can come to an agreement.
01:51
Now, the interesting part overall in this negotiation process, which I know Adam Schaeffler
01:55
was a little bit salty yesterday by saying, this deal has been around since August the
01:59
10th.
02:00
Nothing has changed.
02:01
He just waited three weeks.
02:02
So part of me goes, man, that's a smart man, because there's not a single football player
02:06
on this earth from playing peewee football, middle school football, high school football,
02:11
college, or pros that's like, you know what?
02:13
Camp is finally here.
02:14
This is so exciting.
02:15
Shout out to the guys that can make money and miss all of that practice time.
02:20
Now, granted, you want to be honing your skills, getting in with the boys, getting your work
02:23
in, getting ready for the season, but nobody likes camp.
02:25
So Brandon Ive got everything he wanted.
02:28
End missed training camp.
02:29
That sounds like the biggest win of all time right now, Ben.
