Aiyuk reported to camp unlike CeeDee Lamb. He wants the St Brown deal. I don't think he will get it. We will see. I know Shanahan will want to keep him and Kyle usually gets what he wants but they have to pay Purdy next year so even with the cap going up and the ability to punt the big cap hits a few years down the road they will definitely need to make some changes. Maybe they let Aiyuk play out the year and then franchise tag and trade him. He really has no leverage other than holding out and getting fined 50k per day.
Trent Williams also wants his deal redone but I think that is more about the guaranteed money. I am sure they will get that resolved.
49ers are in a really good spot for this season. We will see what happens next year when they have to start paying Purdy. Maybe they let Aiyuk go, maybe they trade Deebo.
This seems like their last best chance. I'd be all in on making everyone as happy as possible for this season and deal with the rest later.

It might be their best chance. I am not sure about last chance though. Shanahan and Lynch have built a great system and they develop late round draft picks better than anyone. If Brock is the guy and they lock him up I think they will have more chances but this might be the best chance with a team littered with all pros.

I mean it seems like their last chance before it becomes really hard to maintain the roster.
You're right that your coach-GM combo have proven their competence.
