I would be more excited with the acquisition of Deebo with a creative OC / offense. Sadly, we don’t have that.. so it’ll cap the potential of this trade
The wild thing about this Deebo situation is that he apparently wants to be a more traditional WR. Feels like the first dude ever to want less touches. Just doesn’t make sense.
I’m guessing high state taxes and the fact he knows Trey Lance isn’t ready.I’m reading that Deebo really wants out of the 49ers which is alittle shocking
He doesn’t want the mileage and injury risk running the ball out of the backfield. Can’t blame him tbhThe wild thing about this Deebo situation is that he apparently wants to be a more traditional WR. Feels like the first dude ever to want less touches. Just doesn’t make sense.
Well apparently that also doesn't matter, because Deebo is allegedly trying to leave one of the more creative OCs in the entire league.I would be more excited with the acquisition of Deebo with a creative OC / offense. Sadly, we don’t have that.. so it’ll cap the potential of this trade
I can. It makes him more valuable. He's not a high end stand-alone WR.He doesn’t want the mileage and injury risk running the ball out of the backfield. Can’t blame him tbh
Depends on what you mean by high end, hes not cordarell Patterson, he can play wr for real. He’s not davante Adams or anything but he’s still a very good receiverI can. It makes him more valuable. He's not a high end stand-alone WR.
Right, but he's undoubtedly going to want Adams/Tyreke money. A team would give it to him if he could be used as a dual purpose offensive weapon.Depends on what you mean by high end, hes not cordarell Patterson, he can play wr for real.

I guarantee he's not going to come out and say "I'm willing to take less money to not run the ball anymore". He wants both.
I think the Niners would sign him today for $20M a year. Perhaps more. Doesn't appear to be a two-sided conflict here.He just wants to lock in a contract before he either gets injured or he turns out to be a one year wonder. 9ers don't want sign a contact yet to for the same reasons.
Seems to be the way to negotiate contracts these days.I think the Niners would sign him today for $20M a year. Perhaps more. Doesn't appear to be a two-sided conflict here.
If he wants a new contract, asking for a trade and complaining about usage is highly unlikely to yield any of those things. They'll just ship him off to the Jets and he can rot away while getting paid AND still being used as a RB.
Complaining about usage, yes. Requesting a trade, less so. Many of the guys who have requested trades have actually gotten traded.Seems to be the way to negotiate contracts these days.
Well I think it's about money for sure. The usage puts him at risk going into a contract year and I'm guessing he knows after the year he had they will keep using him that way.Complaining about usage, yes. Requesting a trade, less so.

I'm just highly confused by Deebo's stance. If it's a usage issue, I'd imagine you'd address that with coaching/FO beforehand. Possible he did and may have been told "we'll use you as we see fit", which could warrant this.
But if he didn't do that and just decided to use that publicly without talking to the FO/coaching staff, then its purely a leverage play to get more money, which is what I think it is.
Imagine if Steelers just sending this out as a threat so Browns keep Bakers 19milly price tag on the salary cap lol. Either way, it would be a win win for the Steelers. Love the pettiness
