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.
