Cooper should be a good fit. He's a great route runner and probably still has good speed. Expect some frustrating drops, though.
I'm glad this will put an end to the Aiyuk for Davante rumors.
He had a pro bowl season last year so he must have something left. I don't think he is as good as Aiyuk but the 49ers are deep at receiver. They just need a number one threat, not a true number one.
Aiyuk was amazing but 49ers have so many weapons that he got the ball a lot less than a typical number 1. He did struggle a bit when Deebo was out and defenses zeroed in on him, so that might be why the 49ers didn't want to pay him like an elite receiver.
Kendrick Bourne would likely come back to the 49ers if Aiyuk went to the Pats. He is serviceable but definitely a step down from Aiyuk and Cooper. I don't think the young guys the 49ers drafted are ready yet. They have both been plagued by hamstring injuries at camp. I am sure we will see some of them this season but they will not be the Aiyuk replacement. 49ers will get someone back in a trade to fill that spot.

I almost put down a preseason bet on the 49ers, but I don't have much left at Nitrobetting. I was mostly just looking at the heavy underdogs, because I don't know why anyone would be a heavy preseason favorite.

@south_korea_ln found a lightning betting site but unfortunately lightning signup doesn't seem to be working. I sent them a message. Will keep you posted. Site looks good.

No luck, but Alby thought the login was successful, so maybe it's a browser issue. I'll troubleshoot it a bit later.

I have alby for my nostr but I don't have the browser extension so setting that up now to try that way.

Nope, no luck.
Looks like Aiyuk told the Patriots thanks but no thanks. Haha. Apparently the Steelers are back in the mix now.
