## Resource

The 49ers are stuck in a standoff with star WR Brandon Aiyuk, who’s refusing to report to training camp and clearly wants out — but the team’s holding him on the roster for a savvy financial play. Since he’s not playing, they’re not paying him now, and can spread his already-paid money across future cap years. Meanwhile, the Rams’ history of cutting ties with big names — even stars like Kupp and Ramsey — offers a stark contrast. But here’s the twist: no other team is willing to take Aiyuk, meaning his only path back to the field this season is returning to San Francisco — even if he’s not thrilled about it. The Niners aren’t rushing to move — they’re waiting for him to force their hand, all while quietly saving cash. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
