That’s confusing. So they dropped charges, but he gets a five game suspension. There must be something else here that I’m missing.

Rams dodged a bullet there. They now have 2 centres on a rookie wage for at least 4 years.
.
If he was already under a manageable contract with some life left in it, maybe. MAYBE.Good point about contract and also the amount of good to great WRs in the draft every year has depressed WR's trade values going forward.
Still, I think a 1st for him is worth it for the right team.
I can't say I've watched him closely but some pundits I trust say he is and say he's been underutilized in the Shannahan offense.If he was already under a manageable contract with some life left in it, maybe. MAYBE.
…but to pony up both a 1rst rounder and $30mil/per? He’s not THAT good.
I said that pre draft. He may not be the most talented but he's a gamer.I'm gonna forecast Nix does well as a pro!
I’d cut him in a second and fine him $50k for every flagrantly dropped pass in the past 2 years for “gross negligence”.
Whiners are smoking fucking crack if they think they'll get a good return. The time to optimize the trade value is long gone. They'll be lucky to get a 2nd round pick at this rate.If he was already under a manageable contract with some life left in it, maybe. MAYBE.

Agree 100%. The time was before the draft when optimism reigns supreme. Now teams have a more realistic view of their roster’s potential and needs. Giving away a 1rst rounder AND being on the hook for $30mil/per ends up hurting more than it helps a team who is more than “a number one WR away.”Whiners are smoking fucking crack if they think they'll get a good return.

It’s so hard to tell just how good Aiyuk is imo. That system and talented roster could be boosting his numbers. However I keep hearing that he’s one of the best route runners in the game.Agree 100%.

Comical that ayuck rejected $26mil/per from a team who is that close. His ego is gonna be a cancer in that locker room.
Good.
After a market reset like the one we had this off-season, it's hard not to look at all that green grass on the other side where a couple of your colleagues are happily grazing, and not want to get over there, knowing you deserve it just as much as they do. Maybe you'll get there next season, or maybe you'll get hurt and never get there. It'd be real tough for me. But acting like a brat, ya no.Jamar Chase is holding out too. Some of these receivers act like spoiled kids.
Don’t they know they’re not gonna do anything without a good QB and a good OL to protect him? That costs $$ too.Jamar Chase is holding out too. Some of these receivers act like spoiled kids.
He’s under contract. So yeah.After a market reset like the one we had this off-season, it's hard not to look at all that green grass on the other side where a couple of your colleagues are happily grazing, and not want to get over there, knowing you deserve it just as much as they do.

Contracts are negotiable. Teams don't even think twice about cutting a player when they get injured/underperform their contract so why shouldn't a player try to maximize their value when they're outperforming what they're getting paid?He’s under contract. So yeah.
Thats why players get guaranteed money and sign for multi year deals to get that guarantee. He should have signed for 3 years if he wants to renegotiate. Nobody really expect the contracts to last thru the last year cause they take to big of a cap hit.Contracts are negotiable.

You go into work and the new employee does half the work and gets paid twice as much as you do for the same job, you just going to sit there and take it? Or are you going to negotiate your salary/start looking for a new job?
He can't sign a rookie deal for only 3 years. He's doing what he and his agent feels is the best thing for him to do in order to get that next big guarantee contract. What a lot of players do. What AD did, how many camp's did he sit out trying to get a deal? Holding out is one of the few things a player can do in a contract dispute.Thats why players get guaranteed money and sign for multi year deals to get that guarantee.

You are correct. I confused his situation. My bad, againHe can't sign a rookie deal for only 3 years.

Also with all the injuries going on in training camp and preseason games can you blame anybody who only is signed for this year and potentially next on a 5th year option for doing his best to get that long term deal?
