Houshmandzadeh was a solid NFL receiver for years, mostly with the Cincinnati Bengals. His playing days are over, though, and he has apparently helped out Aiyuk as a personal wide receiver in retirement.\u00a0Houshmandzadeh has been critical of Aiyuk in the past\u00a0for his behavior and has continued to take aim at him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_1\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-2\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Here is\u00a0what the coach said\u00a0in a recent podcast interview with Emmanuel Acho:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\"><em><strong>\u201cI used to talk to BA often. Haven\u2019t talked to him in a long time. If I did talk to him, I would tell him straight up, \u2018Bro, what the [expletive] are you doing?\u2019 Tom Brady retired and did the NFL stop? It kept on going. This show don\u2019t stop for nobody. Enjoy the ride while you\u2019re on the bus because when it\u2019s your turn to get off, you ain\u2019t getting back on. Make them force you off.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_2\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Those are some pretty harsh words from a guy who used to be close to Aiyuk. Houshmandzadeh also had some advice for the Niners on\u00a0what they should do with Aiyuk\u00a0after this whole saga:<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\"><em><strong>\u201cIf you\u2019re the Niners, the way BA just acted this past season with ghosting himself, I would release his [expletive] the day before the start of the regular season. Why would I do you a favor? Whenever the first game is, they\u2019re gonna release him that Tuesday.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_3\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">That may seem brutal and cold-hearted, but that\u2019s probably what the 49ers are planning to do.<\/p>\n<p>They know\u00a0no one is going to trade for Aiyuk, given the contract situation, uncertainty about his knee and how he\u2019d look post-injury, and most importantly how dependable he\u2019d even be given his erratic behavior with San Francisco in recent years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"js_adsconex_parallax_1\" class=\"\" data-type=\"parallax\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_ad-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"adsconex-parallax_ad\" align=\"center\">\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_inpage_1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">He\u2019s caused a headache for general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan for years, so they are not going to cut him loose until the last moment they have to. Not because they think some team will swing a trade for him at the 11th hour but because they don\u2019t want to do him any favors by allowing him to sign with a team and get comfortable with them through offseason activities.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_4\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Call it vindictive or petty, but that\u2019s probably what the Niners will do.<\/p>\n<p>After dealing with the drama of both the Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel sagas, they are clearly done with diva wide receivers. That\u2019s why they signed consummate professional Mike Evans in free agency. Don\u2019t expect Evans to be causing any issues or throwing hissy fits this upcoming season.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_5\"><\/div>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">It is sad how this has all played out with Aiyuk. Who knows whats going on in his head or his personal life, but if he had just signed a reasonable contract extension without fanfare and continued to work his way back from injury, then he\u2019d still be a key part of the roster.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, his NFL future now seems uncertain, given his behavior.<\/p>\n<div id=\"div_adsconex_banner_responsive_6\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1\">Houshmandzadeh was once close to Aiyuk, so he knows him better than most. If he can\u2019t even defend Aiyuk\u2019s behavior, then it\u2019s easy to see why NFL teams are avoiding him unless it\u2019s on a very low-risk contract.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Never a great sign.
