So, there's really no reason for this to not happen. I don't think he does. Just because we have the money budgeted for it doesn't mean that we want to pay him what he wants. This could be very Deforest Buckner-esque, to be honest. Lynch famously said that we wanted Buckner to be a 49er for a long long time and then moved him after an all pro season...and we 100% could have structured things differently to work the caps similar to what AA got. Something just didn't pop in the end. I also keep thinking back to last year and the scuttle from Allbright that maybe the 9ers weren't all that much in to Deebo past his rookie deal. I mean, last year was 100% amazing from Deebo, but it also definitely does not remove previous and ongoing concerns about him. That's why I've always been very uncertain about the Deebo deal. It wouldn't at all surprise me if the niners had something in mind and didn't want to exceed it and Deebo is asking for a good bit beyond that. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said previously that if Deebo wanted to be one of the highest paid WR, we would get it done. If he was hell bent on resetting the market, I could definitely see us switching gears. I think 20-22 million per is more than adequate given his production. We start talking 25 per and over and we need to really re-evaluate an extension. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I'd give him slightly higher than DJ Moore's deal. That said, if this is true (not saying it is... I doubt a local cowboys guy knows) I can understand how this spirals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will he duplicate it I don’t know but one year of production doesn’t warrant a huge contract. Its kind of how felt with Jimmy G’s contract of doing nothing for it.

Take it with a grain of salt considering the source, I was just backing up 757's point. There's certainly a universe where their contracts never come together and I could understand how it happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamq Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I wouldn't mind if they just gave him the Adams contract to end this BS. Low number in 22 that shoots up in 23, back down in 24, then easy outs for the last two years but also possibly manageable with a much higher cap https://overthecap.com/player/davante-adams/2992/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like it would take 2 quality players to come close to giving us what Deebo brings to the table.. Going into Lance's first year with Aiyuk, Jennings, and a rookie at WR is a bad idea IMO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it doesn't push buttons. It's honestly a very muted way of displaying displeasure with something without getting into a media free for all and ultimately saying something you regret. It's the early shots fired of a bigger stink (which may or may not come), which is largely a player's only leverage at this point after the new cba (besides a hold in). It's both mature and immature and as someone else mentioned, insanely 2022 lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John232 Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I know it’s crazy to say, especially with Trey, but I’m really, really not interested in paying a receiver 28 million a year. I love deebo, it was clear that with Jimmy, we were super reliant on Deebo to carry our offense, but considering our dearth of picks and the amount of holes we need to fill, the possibility of getting Tyreek kind of haul is incredibly intriguing. But I won’t be upset to see us pay him, just not sure it’s best value on the dollar, that’s all. Love Deebo as a player. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better hope that Mack returns or we are in trouble. I think Jaylon Moore is about to start playing RT. I still think we need depth and wouldn’t be shocked if we spent one of our top picks on a G or C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
