I think Brandon Aiyuk is a sharp guy (as well as an All-Pro receiver), so it’s been stunning to watch him comprehensively botch his contract negotiations with the 49ers this offseason.
We’re well past the point of embarrassment now. No, it’s bordering on downright incompetence.
And Tuesday provided the pièce de résistance of incompétence.
Aiyuk and his agent, Ryan Williams of Athletes First (who should really take the blame) requested a trade from the 49ers on Tuesday, per NFL Network.
