trading him for glorious draft picks! In a meh draft with a underwhelming WR class....hoping that maybe we can end up with you know... Deebo Samuel in a couple years just so we can trade him when he's finally good...and that's the best case scenario

Yes, we sign/extend him. But if the reports are true, that he's wanting to be the highest paid non-QB, then we tag him when his rookie deal is up. We simply cannot pay him that much. The, if necessary, tag him again. Will he like it? Nope! But at least we retain his services.
There are some players who can be replaced. Then, there are those players so important to a scheme that "replacing" him would be such a problem to the offense/defense that you damn-near need to overhaul the scheme. Deebo is the latter. For what Shanny wants to offensively Deebo is just irreplaceable. The way I see it we simply don't have a lot of options. Paying him what he reportedly wants is out of the question. So I see him being tagged.
