00:17Brandon Ayuk posted on Instagram
00:19with a very direct message
00:21towards the San Francisco 49ers.
00:28And another thing,
00:31you want to know why they really mad, though?
00:33They mad because they stupid.
00:35They dumb.
00:39They mad that they paid me
00:41$50 million in eight months
00:43and then voided my guarantees
00:45for 2027.
00:48And I'm about to be on a new team in 2027.
00:52They mad at they sales for real.
00:54They acting like they mad at me,
00:55but they stupid-ass mad at they sales.
01:01Brandon Ayuk.
01:03Weigh it in.
01:04Brandon Ayuk has now posted about four things
01:07in the last five days or so.
01:09But I ask this question, Jay, real quick, though.
01:11Yeah.
01:12When you get out and you start bashing them,
01:15do they have any reason to let you go any sooner now?
01:18Or do they hunker down and say,
01:20okay, we can have a pissing match?
01:23Let's go with it, brother.
01:25We can wait longer.
01:26Time is on their side.
01:28Yes.
01:29And the way to force his way out
01:31is to go.
01:33Kill him with kindness.
01:34Show up to practice.
01:35Hey, Kyle, what do you need me to do right now?
01:37Listen, if it were me,
01:39he'd have released me a while ago.
01:41Because I'd have been right next to him.
01:42You want people to be your friend?
01:44I'd have been right sitting next to him.
01:46You would have.
01:47Oh, dog.
01:47I would have irritated the living stuff out of him.
01:51You know what I'm saying?
01:52Right.
01:53You got to find a way.
01:54The way you're going right now
01:56doesn't make them move.
01:58You got to adjust that.
02:00You got to have a plan of attack.
02:04Let's hit these phones.
02:05Jeremiah is in Fairfax.
02:08Jerry, what do you think about the latest Brandon Ayuk news?
02:13How y'all doing?
02:14Thank you for taking my call.
02:15So I'm going to put it this way,
02:17and I am not a Commanders fan,
02:18so I hope this is an unbiased take
02:20on how I see the situation.
02:21But there's two points I want to make.
02:23First, we'll get to the non-football stuff, I guess.
02:27People forget,
02:28before Brandon Ayuk's injury in 2024,
02:31he played seven games,
02:33had 25 catches for no touchdowns,
02:35and 375 yards.
02:37Even in his last seen performance on the field,
02:40he wasn't knocking anyone's socks off, you know?
02:43And before that season, people forget.
02:45He requested a trade
02:47because he wanted a contract extension,
02:48and it wasn't a normal holdout.
02:51It's just professional player trying to get it.
02:52No, he was causing drama
02:54trying to get this contract extension.
02:56Got it.
02:56Two months later,
02:57tears his ACL and MCL,
02:59and then refuses to cooperate or rehab
03:01or do any of that.
03:02So that's the first thing I'd like to say.
03:04People forget.
03:04This is not the wide receiver one,
03:07all pro.
03:07People are getting a little bit of recency bias
03:09because we need a receiver in Washington.
03:12I get it.
03:13But the other thing I'm going to say
03:14is just because you're thirsty,
03:16you don't grab the first thing you see and drink it.
03:18It could be toxic.
03:19And that's exactly what I think about Ayuk.
03:21He was never the craziest receiver in the NFL.
03:23It seems like he's just an unhappy guy.
03:26He was unhappy before the injury,
03:27before he got a contract.
03:28He's just a grump.
03:31So stay away from Ayuk.
03:32That's my two cents on the situation.
03:34Have a good day.
03:35Thanks, bud.
03:35But I may have an even hotter take.
03:44Why are we all so convinced
03:46they need to add another receiver?
03:49Because nobody has a name.
03:52So listen, people care about names.
03:55They don't care about growing into something.
03:57They got to realize every guy
03:58that is now considered the best
03:59didn't walk in here as the best.
04:02Those guys had to work into it.
04:04They built something.
04:06You give guys a little time to show it.
04:08Everybody that steps into your team
04:10is not going to hit the ground running.
04:11They need a little time.
04:13We'll see.
04:18Let's hit Mark is in Largo.
04:21What's up, Mark?
04:22Hey, what's up, guys?
04:27Clearly, Brandon is just neat out.
04:31He clearly needs out.
04:33And I want to say that first and foremost.
04:36Mental health is definitely something
04:37that we need to be concerned about with him.
04:40That being said, I do think
04:42if I was the commander,
04:44they need to leak out
04:45because if they are leaking
04:48that they're interested,
04:50that's borderline tampering.
04:52They need to leak out
04:52that they're not interested.
04:55Because I don't know about you guys,
04:57but don't you think that people in OTAs
04:59are getting tired of answering questions
05:00about a person that's not on their team?
05:03Yeah, they get tired of answering questions
05:05about people on their team,
05:06to be honest with you.
05:06Well, I agree with you.
05:08I agree with that.
05:09But I do think that, I mean,
05:11they need to put out
05:12that they need to go in a different direction.
05:15Now, JT, I do agree with you.
05:17I do think they do have
05:19what it takes to make it over here
05:21with the receiving core they have.
05:23Now, I'm surprised
05:24I haven't heard anything
05:24about Chris Hilton out there,
05:26but I'm hearing about Jaden Bradley
05:28and how he's becoming
05:29the superstar out there.
05:31So I guess that's a good thing.
05:33Mark, I would chill
05:34with the superstar, but yes.
05:36Okay, okay, okay, well.
05:39Point taken, point taken.
05:41But I do kind of agree with you on that.
05:43It's just,
05:45it's just like with the NBA, man.
05:47You know, I'm going to give you an example
05:48of what I'm talking about with the NBA.
05:50Here's a good example.
05:51Everyone talks about
05:52the winners should go get Darren Peterson
05:53because he's just missing that.
05:54And I'm just saying,
05:56well, you got a Darren Peterson
05:57on your team and Trey Johnson,
05:58who's a much better shooter
06:00and taller and bigger,
06:01but because he's the new flavor
06:05of the month,
06:06Brian, you know what I'm talking about?
06:07Right.
06:08The new car that we see,
06:10he looks better than the one we have.
06:12But in essence,
06:13if you just mow the one that you have,
06:15you can have something
06:16that can go with that.
06:18But I do think we need to,
06:20we need to take it.
06:22This brother needs some help, man.
06:23He really does.
06:24And someone needs to talk to him,
06:28someone,
06:29because he,
06:30this is,
06:32he needs some help.
06:33He needs some help.
06:35He does.
06:36He does.
06:38Appreciate you, Mark.
06:39He needs some help.
06:39Later, bro.
06:41Man, I,
06:43I don't know enough to say
06:44he needs some help.
06:45The behavior is certainly erratic.
06:47Um,
06:50and I just think
06:52there are,
06:53there are,
06:54this is like the,
06:54the Instagram nonsense
06:56has become fairly normal
06:58in NFL contract discourse.
07:01In everything.
07:02Yeah.
07:02Where teams,
07:03where a player will take down everything
07:05that with a certain team
07:06or whatever.
07:07Like,
07:07I think we have to remind ourselves
07:10because
07:11the commanders are in the center
07:13of the storm on this one.
07:14It feels like everything
07:16is a far bigger deal.
07:17but this isn't
07:18that unusual,
07:20but it is still
07:21pretty damn unusual,
07:22B.
07:22Yeah.
07:23It's the new age
07:24of what people do,
07:25but you know what,
07:26man?
07:27It just,
07:27it hasn't hit for me yet.
07:29I'm with you.
07:30I'm with you.
07:31Uh,
07:31let's go.
07:32I'm going to fight it
07:32as long as I can.
07:34Go to Toothpick.
07:35What's up,
07:35Pick?
07:35Pick,
07:35what's up,
07:36brother?
07:37Hey,
07:38what's up?
07:38Uh,
07:38I appreciate y'all
07:39for taking my call,
07:40man.
07:41B,
07:41no offense to you,
07:42right?
07:43And I'm,
07:44I'm just saying,
07:44I agree with what you said.
07:46A lot of these players,
07:48we didn't know who they were.
07:49Like,
07:50when you got drafted,
07:50no one knew that you were going,
07:52wind up being the top 10
07:54in all the turn yards
07:55of the NFL.
07:56We didn't know that about you.
07:58As far as Brandon,
07:59I,
08:00I'm tired of talking about this man.
08:02He's not on our team.
08:04We might as well talk about
08:04Justin Jefferson.
08:06Just because he keeps
08:07spitting,
08:08spitting out the name
08:09of the Washington Commanders
08:09and Jaden Daniels
08:10is his best friend,
08:11that don't mean we got to
08:12talk about him.
08:12That don't mean we got to
08:13pay this new any attention.
08:15Until the front office says,
08:16we just signed Brandon,
08:18I don't even want to talk about him.
08:20Thanks for taking my call,
08:20man.
08:21I appreciate it.
08:22Appreciate your pick.
08:23All right,
08:23bro.
08:24I get,
08:25I get that viewpoint.
08:26Let's go to,
08:27uh,
08:27Russ is in Charlestown.
08:29Russ,
08:29where are you at with the latest
08:30from BA?
08:33I just think,
08:34I think it's a young man that,
08:35you know,
08:36is getting attacked by an organization
08:38for,
08:38for things and he's handling it
08:40with his generation out online
08:42and all that.
08:43And I think the best thing
08:44for him to do
08:45is listen to what y'all were saying
08:47yesterday.
08:48And like D-Min said,
08:49you know,
08:49like how about it?
08:50Shut up and show up.
08:52Shut up and show up.
08:53I mean,
08:54and that,
08:55and get under his skin.
08:56Now,
08:56I got to say this,
08:57them Shanahan's,
08:59they get on my last nerve.
09:01The shenanigans of the Shanahan's
09:03and the way they're doing it
09:04is why this,
09:05this,
09:05this fellow's responding
09:06the way he does.
09:07Now,
09:07I think,
09:07you know,
09:07like Jaden,
09:08Jaden's a good dude,
09:09man.
09:10I think this guy probably
09:11ain't that bad,
09:11man.
09:12You know what I'm saying?
09:13I mean,
09:13he's made some mistakes
09:14because he's young.
09:15Russ,
09:15can I ask you this?
09:16What,
09:17what specifically
09:18have the Niners done
09:20to Iuke?
09:23Now,
09:23you know,
09:24I do not know that.
09:25That's a great,
09:26that's a great point,
09:27JP.
09:28I'm not,
09:28I'm not saying they're blameless.
09:30I'm sure they've done some stuff.
09:31Like Mike Shanahan
09:32with,
09:33with,
09:33with,
09:33with the Raiders.
09:34There's always been some drama
09:35with Griffith and Cousins
09:38and all this stuff.
09:40And,
09:40and,
09:40and,
09:40you know,
09:41I didn't damn Shanahan,
09:42man.
09:43Look,
09:44they,
09:44they,
09:44if they get mad at you,
09:45then you're going to have to pay the prices.
09:47I'm on the player side.
09:48I'm sorry.
09:49Okay.
