2026 NFL Free Agency Thread

Noise from 49ers management, coach and owner all suggests they'll hold onto Aiyuk as long as possible. Says 2 things to me:

1) There may be more to the rift than simply the medical situation as its been lain out.
2) While he may be a great addition, it can't come at significant cost, if any.

Even a 7th round pick this year is a cost we have to weigh up given the dearth of picks we have. Then there's the contract situation. I think we play hardball and call the 49ers bluff and give them no choice but to cut him. If someone else steps in and trades, then so be it. We can't hinge an offseason on one player.
