Willard and Dibs debate if there are 49ers fans out there that actually want Brandon Aiyuk back on the 49ers after everything that's happened over the last two years.
Transcript
00:00They stupid ass mad at they silk.
00:02There's no absolutes in life, so.
00:07Now, back to Willard and Dibs on 95.7 The Game.
00:14Um, you're more of a grudge holder than me.
00:17Is that accurate?
00:19I'm more of a grudge holder than most.
00:21I got a couple that I'm sitting on.
00:23A couple current ones that...
00:25Oh, who?
00:26I'm not going to say that.
00:27Why?
00:28Because...
00:28We're open books here.
00:30We are, but I got some grudges out there.
00:32Hey, Stan.
00:33And Dibbly, yeah, I got some that go really far back.
00:37And, uh...
00:38Are any of them against people who are in these two rooms right now?
00:42No.
00:42Okay, good.
00:43No.
00:43I actually just gave Pasta 10 Odyssey points.
00:47Because he's a really, really good guy.
00:50Yeah, he is.
00:51And he...
00:52I don't even know how to do that.
00:54How do you do that?
00:55You go to your Odyssey at work, and then you click on your little box that has a number
01:00in it, and you can redeem some.
01:02You can give some.
01:03I try to give to the people around me.
01:05And what is, for people who, you know, are listening and they're like, what is 10 Odyssey
01:09points?
01:10You get to 100 Odyssey points, and you can enter in the quarterly, hey, I might win $1,000
01:15contest.
01:15Okay.
01:16Or you get 200 Odyssey points, and you might be able to get an Odyssey mug.
01:19It's basically like Odyssey money.
01:21Wait, it's 100 points to get into a drawing for $1,000, but 200 points gets you a mug?
01:27I feel like that's the opposite.
01:27I think his numbers are off here, but it's essentially how it works.
01:30All the way around.
01:32Right.
01:32You don't have to...
01:33You start with the mug, and then go to the $1,000.
01:34You don't have to get bogged down in the minutiae of the details.
01:39I'm trying to broadly explain what it is.
01:41You don't know how to use it anyway, so you could also get an Odyssey backpack.
01:45Okay.
01:47Backpack, backpack.
01:47Or like a notebook or anything like that.
01:50Yeah.
01:50I think it's funny that you're mad at somebody getting...
01:53I'm not mad.
01:54Yeah, like locked up in the minutiae details.
01:56It's kind of like what makes you, you.
01:58It's the two marks that are pissing me off.
02:01Not to the grudge level.
02:02Wait, what did I do?
02:03I think he has the numbers wrong.
02:05I was in there backing you up.
02:06I was like, I don't think the numbers are right, but that's essentially how it works.
02:10Thanks.
02:10You didn't hear that part, because people hear what they want to hear.
02:14They don't hear what they don't want to hear.
02:15Come here over.
02:16He's fired.
02:17I mean, for that...
02:18Speaking of which, and this is kind of what I was getting at in bringing up the whole grudge
02:24holder thing.
02:25I think a lot of you have forgotten, or maybe you don't know, what Brandon Ayuk has done.
02:33And I'm not a grudge holder, but I've also learned in my life that if you're around somebody
02:42who mistreats you, leave and don't look back.
02:48But I don't think that he's done anything to us.
02:51Certainly not to me.
02:52No, but he did to them.
02:53Right.
02:54So they can hold a grudge if they want.
02:55And I think that they've had.
02:57And they should.
02:57I think they have.
02:58A great moment when they started off the show today out there at the parade, Stiney
03:05and Guru.
03:05Like, Stiney looks at Guru and goes, do you want Devondre Campbell back?
03:09He goes, hell no.
03:11He quit on the team.
03:13The hell do you think Brandon did?
03:17What in the hell do you think Brandon did?
03:20Don't really know.
03:21The characterization is that he chose not to rehab in the way that they wanted, and maybe
03:27there was bad blood from there.
03:28I don't know what the backstory and the full story is.
03:32If that man didn't quit on the team, then I don't know what quitting on a team is.
03:35He didn't quit in the middle of a game when you were down linebackers.
03:38No, he did it worse, actually.
03:40He did it worse.
03:41He did it for two, basically an entire season.
03:45But not to his teammates in that direct way.
03:48He also did it after getting $130 million.
03:53Like, Devondre Campbell.
03:55No, but he got millions and millions.
03:58He's been paid damn near $50 million by this team to do a job.
04:04And he's done none of it.
04:05And he made fun of Kyle's car accident.
04:08And he called John Lynch a predator.
04:10And on and on and on and on.
04:13Man, I'm floored by anybody who's like, yeah, we need a receiver.
04:20What?
04:21Well, he didn't offend me.
04:23And actually, he amuses me with his Instagram posts.
04:26That's great.
04:27We play the drops.
04:28I go around my house all the time talking about stopping little cat.
04:32Just because I think it's so funny.
04:34And you can be amused by that.
04:36Being a little cat.
04:36I do find it offensive.
04:38And he didn't do anything to me either.
04:39Little ass boy.
04:40But you don't need to do something to me for me to be offended by it.
04:45You're my partner.
04:46If somebody did something to you that I find offensive, I can be offended.
04:50You don't have to do it to me.
04:51If you make fun of a car accident where two people damn near lost parts of their face,
04:57if you make fun of that, I find that offensive.
05:01I don't know Brandon and I don't know Kyle.
05:03But I find that to be offensive behavior.
05:06We had a nationwide election yesterday.
05:09I have been wildly offended by many of the things that many of these politicians have done.
05:15They didn't do it to me.
05:17They didn't do it to me personally.
05:20Well, sometimes it is if it's in your jurisdiction.
05:23Sometimes it's not.
05:24Do you know what I mean?
05:26Like.
05:27Well, you could be offended by anything you want to be offended by.
05:31Sure.
05:31And, you know, we can go all the way to the dream on green Jordan pool situation.
05:36He didn't punch me, but that was offensive.
05:39And I was a little offended at the handling of the organization, blah, blah, blah.
05:43But something like this, where a player gets a contract and basically taps out on the deal.
05:50That doesn't offend me.
05:51It offends me if it prevents them from being able to do other things.
05:55And it hasn't.
05:56They've been able to go out and spend and acquire Buckner.
05:59They've got a ton of cap room.
06:00They have the most in football.
06:01They do.
06:02But some of it's going to go away.
06:03Like, no matter if it feels like it has stopped them from doing something or not, it has.
06:09Like, it is money that is now going to accelerate.
06:12So, just so everybody kind of gets what's going on here, the 49ers have already paid Brandon all of the
06:19money they're going to pay him.
06:20However, it has not been coming off of the cap as a figure as of yet.
06:26It will accelerate the minute they cut him if they do.
06:29It accelerates.
06:31It's been kind of prorated over about a five-year period.
06:33It will immediately accelerate over the next two years if they cut him.
06:38Now, do they have the money to cover it?
06:40They do.
06:40They do have the cap space to cover it.
06:42It doesn't make it a positive.
06:44So, it's not like a good thing.
06:47There is money that's going to go off of the cap for Brandon Ayuk.
06:52However, I also think the next piece of this is, A, he's got a passive physical.
06:57If not, they can stick him on IR and everything stays the same.
07:00But if he does pass a physical and they release him or even if they don't or whatever happens next,
07:06I think there's going to be a battle over the money that's already been paid.
07:11I think the 49ers are going to try to recoup some of it, as they should.
07:14And Brandon's probably going to try to get them to pay some of the money they haven't paid.
07:18So, there's like, I think there's a legal battle coming.
07:21That'd be my guess.
07:22I'm not sure what they can recoup as far as, you know, the bonuses that they paid and they prorated.
07:28That's just a sunk cost to me.
07:30And then this year, you haven't paid him a cent.
07:32So, I don't even know what they would go out there and try to recoup.
07:35The only thing I could think of would be if they're trying to avoid having this dead cap charge
07:41based on the fact that the contract should be voided.
07:44The language of all these leagues sometimes gets so convoluted and confusing.
07:48For me, it comes down to just one thing.
07:51And reportedly, he's on his way out to meet with them on Friday.
07:55So, if you get to Friday and practice, does Drew Rosenhaus show up with Brandon Ayuk in his limo?
08:02And Brandon steps out and does that big stretch after a long day of travel
08:07and just starts to sidle up to the facility.
08:10That, to me, is interesting.
08:12$48.1 million for seven games.
08:17That's what they got.
08:18We got hurt.
08:20Yeah.
08:21And I don't know if you've noticed this.
08:23A lot of 49ers get hurt.
08:25You then rehab and you come back.
08:27That's what you do.
08:28You're allowed to.
08:29You're more than allowed to.
08:30You're, in my opinion, you're contractually obligated to.
08:34And they agree, which is why they were able to stop paying him other money
08:37that they were supposed to pay him during this time.
08:40But he went AWOL.
08:41There's no two other ways about it.
08:43He went completely AWOL.
08:46In a Chris Stapps-Porzingis similar way that he's also now away from the team.
08:51And not getting paid.
08:52Right.
08:52And pissed everybody off.
08:54And in this case, he didn't get a big old whopping bonus up front like Ayuk did.
08:59And he played seven games.
09:01Very bad injury.
09:02And for whatever reason, he and the team did not have the same idea about what should happen next.
09:07And so the thing is completely broken apart.
09:09Right.
09:10Right.
09:10And we can get to that a little bit later, too.
09:12The Chris Stapps-Porzingis thing is interesting to find out today that the Warriors are not paying him.
09:16And that may make the contract more tradable, actually, as it turns out.
09:21If you've got a cheap owner out there somewhere, which, by the way, I know of one, for example, in
09:25Portland,
09:27you can acquire that expiring contract.
09:30But if it's a contract that the league deems that you don't have to pay,
09:35then now it's $20 million that you just saved.
09:38Maybe it makes the contract more tradable.
09:40Interesting.
09:40I didn't even think of that.
09:42You know?
09:43So unless he decides to show up to your team for crying out loud, he's got the teeth and, you
09:50know, France and all of that.
09:52So anyway.
