SportsTranscript
00:00Oh, gosh, just don't know what to believe with the Warriors right now.
00:04I'll get into it, though.
00:05Kyle Brandt and Peter Schrager, here's what's going on with Brandon Ayuk according to them.
00:12Ownership, typically as fans, you think the owners get involved with the quarterback contracts,
00:16the quarterback drafting.
00:17It is now 8-8, it's August 8th.
00:19This is not a great look for the Niners.
00:21It's not a great thing they have going on.
00:23We need a resolution.
00:24At some point, does somebody say, pay him and get him out of here now, and does that
00:27come from the boss, man?
00:28We got to end this thing.
00:29I think it's amazing because this is supposed to be their year.
00:31They got so close.
00:32They got to overtime.
00:33It's supposed to be their year.
00:34I don't think any of them anticipated we'd be sitting here on August 8th, and it's not
00:38us hyping up the Niners, saying, look at all the talent they have and look what they can
00:42do.
00:43It's every time the Niners come up, it's talking about their number two wide receiver, talking
00:45about this guy and his contract.
00:46It's fascinating.
00:47Kyle, that guy over there in the top right, he lets these guys make the decisions and
00:52lets them operate.
00:53But to your point, I think there has to be a deadline at some point.
00:56We don't want this thing dragging on to the regular season.
00:58There has to be a deadline at some point.
01:01You would think.
01:03Deadline for what?
01:05What exactly would the deadline be for?
01:06To get something done?
01:07Yeah.
01:08And what if it doesn't?
01:09And get this S show past him and focus on football.
01:13Then it is what it is.
01:15He'll be holding out.
01:16He'll be at the house week one.
01:19But what I'm asking is, what is the deadline for an extension?
01:22Is the deadline for the 49ers to say get?
01:25I thought deadline for a resolution.
01:28Like York needs to come in and say this is what we're doing.
01:31We'll take a dime on the dollar.
01:33We got to get past this.
01:35I don't think he wants to leave.
01:37Well they're not taking a dime on the dollar now if they want two first round picks.
01:41Do you really believe they think they want two?
01:44Well I think it depends on if they're getting a player back.
01:48If they're getting a player back that can help their roster right away, then they probably
01:53won't reach for two first round picks.
01:57If they're not getting any players back, which according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,
02:03they say no verbal agreement has been reached, but any potential deal would not include any
02:10stealer personnel.
02:12So I think it depends on if they get a wide receiver back, let's say, then they don't
02:18need as much draft compensation.
02:20If they don't get a receiver back or another position that they like, then apparently they
02:25want two first.
02:26You're going to call me crazy.
02:27I'll tell you what.
02:28If they don't get a receiver or an option to replace him and they go as-is, I'm going
02:32to look at this IUK departure or possible departure, Stiney, like an injury.
02:38Like you just lost his services.
02:40How's that going to affect Brock?
02:41How's that going to affect the offense?
02:43You know what?
02:44Here's what I'm doing.
02:46I'm putting Trent Williams into the same category.
02:48Trent.
02:50You know, it might be less serious.
02:55That's how I feel.
02:56It is, Stiney.
02:57Way less serious.
02:58Well, you realize if Trent Williams doesn't show up, what's today, Thursday?
03:03And they play Tennessee Saturday.
03:07So that means the plane's leaving Friday, although he's in Houston.
03:10So he could meet.
03:11Allegedly, Stiney.
03:12If he misses, if he's not there when they play Tennessee, he loses $1.1 million.
03:20Stiney, you've been around.
03:21This is not like IUK.
03:24What am I looking for?
03:25A shtick.
03:26They can make that go away and the new deal, put that in there, and you won't pay one red
03:30cent.
03:31Here's the other thing about Trent Williams.
03:34You're down on him, man.
03:35Stop it.
03:36I've been doing some reading.
03:37You know, he may, first of all, so right now he's, right now he's the sixth highest paid
03:50offensive line.
03:51And that's wrong.
03:52Okay.
03:53Well, there's one right tackle who's making more money than him.
03:56All the rest are left tackles, obviously.
03:59Okay, so in 2021, they made him the highest paid left tackle in football.
04:06I got you.
04:072021.
04:08Yeah.
04:09Inflation.
04:10COVID was over at that point.
04:11That's how recent it was, I think.
04:13Anyway.
04:14I'm still getting it.
04:15Depends.
04:16How about this?
04:17From a pure cash standpoint, there's only one offensive lineman scheduled to make more
04:25than Trent Williams.
04:26And that's Tristan Worfs.
04:27Yeah.
04:28Who just did his deal.
04:29Yeah.
04:30Yeah.
04:31So Trent's got more.
04:32But how does that work if he's the sixth highest paid?
04:35Because he's got three more years left in his deal.
04:38Wow.
04:39Wow.
04:40So.
04:41Inflation, Stiney.
04:42Oh, inflation.
04:43And your boy knows what time it is, and I think the Niners do.
04:46That's why I'm not worried about him.
04:47He wouldn't be playing Saturday.
04:49This is totally different.
04:51It's about.
04:54How good does your boss or employer think you are?
04:57Trent?
04:58They know how good he is.
04:59That's why I'm not worried about Trent.
05:00Well, really?
05:01Yes.
05:02So what if I told you the 49ers are kicking the tires on David Bakhtiari?
05:07I would be false.
05:08Or I'd hit a buzzer if I had one.
05:11They're kicking the tires now.
05:13You don't mess with Bakhtiari.
05:14Bakhtiari.
05:15Let me tell you something about Bakhtiari.
05:16He can chug.
05:17Ari.
05:18Huh?
05:19Ari.
05:20Bakhtiari.
05:21Eh.
05:22Eh?
05:23That guy can chug.
05:24Look at you.
05:25You ever see him at a Bucs game?
05:26Yeah, I saw him.
05:27Anyway, he's a free agent, Coop.
05:28I don't care.
05:29And he's been an iron man the last couple years.
05:33I don't care.
05:34The Niners.
05:35You were like, Coop, what do you mean messing with fate?
05:37Come on.
05:38This is not how we saw the offseason going.
05:39You got to get some resolve to this resolution ASAP.
05:44I just, I don't know if IUKED didn't want the 32.
05:48I didn't know if the Niners really want, I don't believe the Niners are asking for two
05:52firsts because if you are, So you know more than the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette?
05:56Well obviously, they said Detroit was going to be in.
05:58That was not the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
05:59Who do you know of?
06:00So everybody in Pittsburgh is saying, oh, they're talking about.
06:04The rumors.
06:05The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette specifically said there's no
06:10verbal agreement.
06:11I'm saying, nobody knows what the heck is going on except the people in Santa Clara.
06:17How about that?
06:18It's your city.
06:19Yeah.
06:20How about that?
06:21I agree with that.
06:22Yeah.
06:23I agree with that.
06:24I really thought something was a good popping off yesterday and the day before and the day
06:27before.
06:28Four days worth, Stiney.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Don't do it.
06:31Don't do what?
06:32Let them go.
06:33If they haven't, but they got, this is what's crazy, Stiney, in my world, they're like,
06:39hey, what you doing?
06:40It's John.
06:41They're talking.
06:42They haven't talked since May.
06:43Who?
06:44The Niners and Iuke.
06:46Or at practice when they're hugging.
06:48That's what's crazy about it.
06:49You see Mike Silver's story in the Chronicle yesterday?
06:53He said Kyle Shanahan's annoyed.
06:56He's annoyed.
06:59This guy's just hanging around.
07:00Well, hanging around.
07:02Doesn't that go both ways?
07:03Iuke annoyed?
07:04You know what?
07:05The Warriors still have, I mean the Warriors, the 49ers still, they can do what?
07:11They still have one more thing they can do and that's say, now you got to practice.
07:16Now you got to practice.
07:17Well, I was going to say that takes reps away from other guys if they really know this dude's
07:22not going to be around.
07:23Exactly.
07:24You don't want to mess with that.
07:25Well, you guys did see the news this morning from the 49ers.
07:28They've signed a wide receiver.
07:32Robbie Anderson.
07:33Calvin Austin?
07:34Robbie Anderson.
07:35You know what?
07:36I like the player.
07:37I mean, he had a big year last year for this.
07:41And they're doing that because the youngster's probably shoulder issues.
07:44Did you say Saskatchewan?
07:47I think they won it, didn't they?
07:48Are they the Rough Riders or the Rough Riders?
07:52Yes.
07:53What, Gu?
07:54What?
07:55They're bringing in Brita the Cheetah because of, I mean, just everybody come back.
08:00I don't like this, man.
08:02Get some finality to it, Stony, and move on, man.
08:05You just talked about it.
08:06There's not, I believe, four preseason games.
08:08Three.
08:09Man.
08:10There's three preseason games.
08:11Two after Saturday.
08:12Yep.
08:13And if you get a new receiver, you know what I mean?
08:16He's got to get up to speed.
08:17You just don't want to be behind the eight ball.
08:20Yeah.
08:21We'll see.
08:23The one thing that I am, and I said yesterday, I don't think he can ever paint a locker room
08:31feeling one way or the other, but let me just throw this out at you if you're a 49er
08:37fan.
08:38How do you think this is playing in the 49ers locker room?
08:44Do you think that, let's just take a player, so-and-so, nameless player, do you think that
08:53player is frustrated with Iuke for his stance, or would a player be more frustrated with
09:02the Niners, the organization, for not getting this thing done?
09:07From what I know, partner, and I love the question, you never talk about a man trying
09:13to get his chicken.
09:14I have to believe they would be irritated with the organization.
09:18Like, do something so this goes away and we're not held hostage, leading off shows
09:24or whatnot.
09:25Let's find out who is going to be one of the starting wideouts alongside Debo.
09:30Is it going to be Iuke or somebody else?
09:33So I'm going, Stiney, it has to be the team.
09:36Yeah, I wonder.
09:37I don't know.
09:38And are you pro-Iuke or pro-Niners in this?
09:41Or does it change?
09:42Mindfuck, y'all, I got to be honest.
09:45It changes daily, man.
09:47And again, this is without not knowing who to believe, but darn it, Stiney, you either
09:52don't want them here, and I do.
09:54No, they do.
09:55They want them here.
09:56They better want them here.
09:57Yeah, they want them here.
09:58At $14 million.
09:59Man.
10:00That's a cold game, Stiney.
10:03I'd love to be in that cold game.
10:07Love to be playing in that cold game.
10:10So what do you do if you're the San Francisco 49ers?
10:14I would think that the one risk, and we kind of heard Nick Bosa talk about it yesterday,
10:23if the 49ers trade Iuke, that would probably sit poorly with the players.
10:30Because at that point, then they know they're probably not quite as good next year, or this
10:36year, at least on paper.
10:38But I'll tell you real quick here, two players that shouldn't open their lips, Thibault Samuel
10:44and Bosa.
10:45And the reason I bring them up, those are the two reasons.
10:46They just got their back.
10:48So what are you going to say?
10:50Well they say he's a tough player to replace.
10:53That's all they're saying.
10:54But we'll see how it all shakes out.
10:587-8-5.
10:59I wonder if this is the sentiment that's out there mostly.
11:05He says goo, but I don't.
11:07It's both of us.
11:09This is more you.
11:10Yeah.
11:12He says goo, you're treating Iuke like he's Draymond Green of the Niners.
11:16Let him go and let's get back to work.
11:19The future is now.
11:20No, I'm not doing that.
11:21The team is.
11:22Make a decision.
11:23Stand on business.
11:25They have.
11:26What is this?
11:27I love it.
11:28You don't love it.
11:29Well, I don't love it today, because nothing's happening.
11:32Yesterday, I loved it.
11:34When Filippone came on, we didn't win 18 rounds with this.
11:38Exactly.
11:40We'll see what happens.
11:43We'll see what happens.
11:44In the meantime, Mr. Boombox, Mr. Boombox just quietly getting away with doing the same
11:54thing and nobody has a problem with it.
11:57Because he's an all-pro.
11:58He's an OG.
11:59But now Iuke is, I thought he was one of the best young receivers in the game.
12:03He is.
12:04Top five receiver.
12:05He is.
12:06He's trying to get paid to sell.
12:07Okay.
12:08Now, Steve Lineman, how come Trent Williams is skating on this when Iuke is taking a beating?
12:14Because Trent's contract is not right.
12:16He's trying to get some guaranteed monies, don't he?
12:18Yeah, well, I could say Trent's contract is a lot more right than Brandon Iuke's contract
12:24right now.
12:25Well, if we were to bet right now, there's no way you would bet nothing to go.
12:28Trent's not going to get his money.
12:30That's like minus 210.
12:31There's a chance.
12:32Yeah.
12:33There's a chance.
12:34And I'll ask again.
12:35Why doesn't he have it by now?
12:37It's been March, April, May, June, July.
12:40We're into August.
12:41Almost six months.
12:42That's a little strange.
12:43Six months.
12:44Oh, for Mr. Franchise.
12:47Greatest lineman of all time.
12:49He's so important.
12:50He's your best lineman.
12:51He's so important, they didn't feel the need to wrap him up.
12:56Interesting.
12:57Now, you could...
12:59Maybe they like...
13:00Who's his backup?
13:03You could make a case, Donnie.
13:06This is how the Niners botched the offseason, not getting that done.
13:09And we've heard it.
13:10Kyle Comey's wrote about it.
13:12Other people have wrote about it.
13:13Silver wrote about it.
13:14I mean, you knew about this?
13:16I wonder...
13:17Let me ask 49er fans this, because I'm not saying we've got to spend all show on it,
13:23but everybody's got a feeling about Iuke and the 49ers, and what's going on, and who's
13:31at fault, and what they'd like to see, and...
13:36How do you feel about Trent Williams?
13:40I just do think it's...
13:41It's a nothing burger to me.
13:42Okay.
13:43All right.
13:44But if you ask me how I truly feel, or if I had to blame somebody, I'm blaming the organization.
13:47Oh, my gosh.
13:48You asked me.
13:49Yeah, I did.
13:50Now, why would you say, oh, my gosh?
13:52Because he's making 22 this year.
13:56Just show up, and you're a top five lineman.
13:57Well, don't you understand about a guy at 36 years old...
14:00That's what I don't understand.
14:02He's 36.
14:03So he's trying to get his before...
14:05Exactly.
14:06He's trying to get his.
14:07He's worth whatever he's...
14:08That's what I don't like.
14:09Yeah.
14:10Well, are you trying to win, partner?
14:12What I'm trying to do...
14:13I mean, like, that's all it's about to me.
14:14What I'm trying to do is ask people who are pissed off about Iuke why they're not similarly
14:21upset with Trent Williams, because the reality is, if Trent Williams is coming in at 22 million,
14:31and the 49ers want Brandon Aiyuk to come in at 14 million, then Aiyuk is the worst paid
14:36of those two guys.
14:37So where was this energy for when Bosa, who had a year left on his team...
14:41Bosa was in the same...
14:42No.
14:43There's a difference between...
14:44No, I'm talking about he held out.
14:45There's a difference between Trent Williams now and where Bosa was last year.
14:50What is it?
14:51Bosa was in his window.
14:52Bosa was in his window.
14:53He was in the same window that Aiyuk's in now on his initial rookie contract.
14:58And he held out.
15:00But that's right.
15:01So why do you feel different?
15:03Because Williams' contract was signed in 2021.
15:07Right.
15:08He's not eligible for an extension.
15:10But he's so good at his job.
15:12Okay.
15:13Well, just say he's being selfish.
15:14That's all I want you to...
15:15No, he's trying to get his money, Donny.
15:16That's being selfish.
15:17No, you would do the same thing.
15:18No, I wouldn't.
15:19What would you do?
15:21He's a top...
15:22Come on.
15:23You would try to get your money.
15:24You would use your leverage.
15:25He's a top five paid offensive lineman.
15:29Obviously, that's not good enough for him.
15:32Right.
15:33So why is he painted nothing to see here, but other people are saying that Aiyuk is
15:40not doing it right.
15:41He's the top 1% in his positions, Donny.
15:42He's that good.
15:43But he's 36.
15:44Okay, but he's a good thing.
15:45He's 36.
15:46All pro.
15:47Okay.
15:48Back to back.
15:50Aiyuk was all pro.
15:51Well, I guess you're missing the leverage play.
15:53Well, I mean, you could break out the Bible because it looks like you're saying, Trent,
15:58what are you doing?
15:59Dude is trying to cash out.
16:00That's right.
16:01And he's got the leverage because he's at the top of his game.
16:02Okay, you know what?
16:03You're right.
16:04You're right.
16:05I get that.
16:06You've answered the question.
16:07I get that.
16:08He's trying to cash out.
16:09And he...
16:10That has nothing to do with the team.
16:11Nothing.
16:12He's put the team second.
16:14Trent Williams.
16:16Plain and simple.
16:17Or the team's put him second.
16:18What are you talking about?
16:20He's under contract.
16:21McCaffrey.
16:22He's not happy with that.
16:23Oh.
16:24He's not happy with it.
16:25And because he's not happy with it, we're going to bend over backwards.
16:28Fair.
16:29Yeah.
16:30Okay.
16:31If I want to...
16:32How you can sit there and say he's going to...
16:34All he wants to do is cash out.
16:37That's fine.
16:38I agree with you.
16:39But if we're talking about team, one year windows, this is a huge year.
16:45We got to do...
16:46Yeah.
16:47But he's showing you what kind of guy he is.
16:49Well, he's been stellar on the field since he's been here.
16:53Guys like him.
16:54And like you said, he's one of the leaders with the boom box.
16:56Sure.
16:57Coming out.
16:58And we've given Brandon Ayuk all his plaudits.
17:02He came in, was in the doghouse with Shanahan, worked his ass off, did all the right things.
17:08What more do you want him to do?
17:11Homegrown.
17:12But people are pissed at him.
17:14Trent Williams, on the other hand, he's got $78 million left on his contract.
17:19I'm just saying that, listen, you want to tell me he's the best offensive lineman in
17:23football?
17:24One of them.
17:25Okay.
17:26Yeah.
17:27That's fine.
17:28He's still holding out with a contract sitting there that he signed in 2021.
17:32So to me, he's no different than Brandon Ayuk, except he's actually getting paid more to
17:39his salary right now than Ayuk is.
17:42That's all I'm saying.
17:44Yeah.
17:45And all I'm saying to you, Stani, as much as I like Ayuk, we don't know what he's asking
17:49for.
17:50And if he's asking for too much, the team is saying you're not in that, you're not in
17:54that realm.
17:55Yeah.
17:56Trent Williams is in that realm.
17:57We'll see.
17:58He's shown it.
17:59Well, okay.
18:00So it's not bad.
18:01He's Justin Jefferson of the offensive lineman outside of the age.
18:04So I know what card he's playing and I think he's going to come up aces.
18:08He might.
18:09He might.
18:10But he's still selfish.
18:11He's selfish.
18:13He's being selfish.
18:14And so was Bosa when he held out.
18:15No, it's a different situation.
18:17He held out.
18:18It's different.
18:19You're being a hypocrite.
18:20You're being a hypocrite, man.
18:22And you can't explain why you're being a hypocrite.
18:24I just did, but you're not listening.
18:25No, if he held out, don't.
18:26So why are you praising him if he held out?
18:29It's the same ideology.
18:32He held out.
18:33Quit telling me about why he held out and he wasn't in practice and you're giving him
18:38a pass.
18:39You're asking me what the difference is.
18:40And I'm trying to tell you, Bosa was on his rookie deal last year.
18:46The window opened for Bosa to sign an extension.
18:51The 49ers said, we want to sign you to an extension.
18:55He said, I want to sign an extension.
18:57He held out.
18:59Trent Williams right now has a contract for the next three years.
19:04That's the difference.
19:05OK, so did Bosa show up to work or not?
19:08Yes, he did.
19:10He held out.
19:11He held out.
19:12But he showed up.
19:13So why would you say yes?
19:14Well, because I thought you meant after he signed the contract.
19:15He didn't show up to work.
19:17That's all.
19:18That's what Trent's doing.
19:19Why are you all in the tea leaves?
19:21Because there's a fund.
19:22You asked me the difference and I just told you there's a fundamental difference.
19:26I don't see it.
19:27OK.
19:28Yeah.
19:29Well, I think you got to look.
19:30I see a color difference outside of that.
19:32Both of them didn't show up.
19:34And you're putting Bosa in Santa Claus category.
19:38Nothing to see here.
19:39And then Trent Williams is a villain.
