The San Francisco 49ers have been on the brink of a Super Bowl title for several years.
Despite having one of the most talented rosters in the league, they’ve fallen short against the Kansas City Chiefs twice in the past four years.
Given this, it seems unwise for them to part ways with one of their star players.
This sentiment is shared by analyst Kimberley Martin.
During an appearance on ESPN’s Get Up, Martin argued that the 49ers couldn’t justify breaking up a roster that was poised to win a championship last year.
“You can’t really justify dismantling a roster that looks championship ready.”
She suggested that if the 49ers had won the Super Bowl, they might consider moving on from Brandon Aiyuk. However, since that didn’t happen, it would be smarter to focus on the current season and reassess the situation afterward.
Martin also highlighted that Trent Williams, arguably their most critical offensive player, is unhappy, and the team will eventually need to address Brock Purdy’s contract.
Essentially, this season might be the 49ers’ last best chance to capture the Super Bowl, and losing Brandon Aiyuk could significantly diminish their chances.
It has been a long time since the 49ers lifted the Vince Lombardi trophy, and in the NFL, Super Bowl windows can close rapidly.
The San Francisco 49ers hold all the leverage, and just because a player wants out doesn’t mean they have to grant that request.
