I would think the guaranteed money would be more important to Deebo due to his playing style and how he is often used. So why not offer him a 5 year deal worth $20 Million a year but make it fully guaranteed? So while he can not say he is the highest paid WR, He can say he is the only WR who's entire contract is fully guaranteed and has the most guaranteed money out of any WR. So while he can't make more than $100 Million, He also can't make less than that.

Cause he's on average missing about 4 games a season, and given how he's being used now, that is more likely to go up than down.

If they are worried about him getting injured than stop using him like that. It isn't right to make him the focal point of the offense and than refuse to pay him like one.

He was injured before they ever started using him out of the backfield. That's not why he gets hurt. He plays like Kittle and runs so hard that injuries are just bound to happen.

I read the article from SI and they make a good point about Aiyuk. If Deebo gets paid big money won't Aiyuk expect the same if he has one big season. As they point out, he's more likely to be a downfield target for Lance and could easily become the number one target, especially if Deebo misses a few games.

OFTEN I post ... that YUCK is a better WR than Deevah... Deevah is a gadget and last year, he was the BEST GADGET in the NFL.. I posted 24 a year, and i fully believe that it's too much for a GADGET guy..

you all think defenses NEXT year will not figure out a GADGET ??

Nope. Because the only reason he's a "gadget" is because he's ABLE to dominate defenses at every level and from every position.

That's why I actually agree with everyone saying he should be paid for what he brings to the offense. I simply said the team would not want to guarantee him that much. If it were me, instead, I'd pay him for what he gives, but build in protections for the team if he's unable to do it. Make him the highest paid non-QB in the NFL—IF he plays and continues to play like one.

hang on there buddy.... Deevah had a very awesome year, no one will argue .. BUT, Just what EVERY position are you talking about?

When did he dominate as a WR of all the years he's been here?

JaMarr Chase as a rookie already showed better overall talent as a WR than Deebo.. and I'm pretty sure if SF trades Deebo to Cincy straight up for CHASE, many, including YOU will not argue..
CHase had an elite QB throwing to him, and yet managed only 50 more yards. Moreover, Deebo beat Chase in yards per catch, but there's a difference you Jimmy homers never quite get: Deebo averaged 10.1 RAC yards per reception. Chase was merely 8.0. And what about who does most of the work on a given catch? Chase was ranked 22nd in yards before reception. Guess where Deebo was? 51st! Deebo did MOST of the work on HIS yards, because Deebo had Garoppolo for a QB, while Chase had Joe Burrow.

Deebo's receptions per broken tackle was was 5.9, meaning he broke a tackle every 6 catches. Chase was some 20 ranks lower, with 10.1. And yeah, Deebo had some drops, but his drop rate was 8.3, which was better than Chase's drop rate of 8.7. Deebo was better than Chase last year.

The only reason someone would make that trade is because Chase will probably develop into something more. But Chase may very well end up being the best WR in the game in a couple years, so this is a ludicrous argument anyway. Your argument is that because Deebo isn't the best WR in the game he therefore didn't dominate at WR.

I GUARANTEE you Deebo was a top 10 WIDE RECEIVER this past year, probably top 5.

some WR from the Rams who came back from a knee injury DOMINATED the league last year as a WR, he was not better than DEEBO all around, but he was WAYYYYY better than Deebo as a WR last year..
No, he wasn't. He had a better QB and took advantage of that. Deebo had to earn his yards in traffic because Jimmy is allergic to throwing outside and deep. And "WAYYYY" better?

Cooper was SLIGHTLY better. You do realize that it was Deebo right behind him in yards most of the year, right? Kupp was 55th in the NFL in YAC/reception. Deebo was the number ONE WR in the NFL (4th overall behind three running backs) with almost twice as much. And Kupp had a mere 13.4 yards per reception despite not having to make a large majority of the yards himself. Deebo? Led the NFL with 18.2. This, again, with Deebo having to do a much greater share of the work post-catch than almost every other WR.

On a per catch basis, Kupp hgained 43.3 percent of the yards. Deebo? 54.9. Deebo is one of the few who actually got the majority of his yards on his own. (note: Chase got 44.4 percent of his own yards, so let that sink in).


.. and what Deebo did for us, Cordarrelle did the same for the Falcons... .. WILL YOU GIVE BOTH 24 A YEAR ??

Uh no. Patterson was not even close in production. He had a mere 7.4 YAC/R, nearly 3 behind Deebo. Moreover, he was primarily a running back. He had a mere 548 yards receiving. Hell, he only had 618 yards rushing. For comparison, Deebo had 1405 yards receiving (most of which he got on his own) and 365 yards rushing at 6.2 per carry. Patterson, by contrast, had only 4.0.

This is a ludicrous comparison. Deebo is an ELITE weapon. Patterson is a utility guy.

YOU gonna stand here and tell me DEEBO is better than CHASE?

AND if Chase benefited from having a 2ND YEAR QB ... who's fault is that??

your boy KS10 had a chance to get Brady and even Stafford but did not... wacha say to that?/

He had 800 yards as a rookie lol ( almost 1K total yards). With Jimmy G, his 20th ranked passing attempts, and only getting 80 targets. He avg 14 yard per reception.

2021 AS A WR he avg 18.1 yards per reception lead the league. He ha 1,400 yards with Jimmy G and his 20th ranked passing attempts (deebo wasn't even in the top 20 in targets). He DOMINATED and clearly has improved as a WR. Go as Jalen Ramsey.

SF fans would love to trade for Chase because he's on a rookie deal.

That Ram WR tore his ACL in 2019. It's 2021. He is a damn good WR with a MUCH MUCH better QB. You think Deebo improves if Matt Stafford is his QB? I do. Kupp almost had 200 freaking targets this yr. He's grossly underpaid and his agent sucks.

The issue with your Patterson comp is he can't do both. He had 540 yard receiving last yr mostly RPO stuff with a couple fade catches. Deebo had 1,400 and is a YAC god. Patterson had 153 rushing attempts for 618 yards (4YPC) Deebo had 53 rushing attempts for 365 yards (6.2 YPC). Not the same player, never were the same player.

Pay your own that you drafted & developed. They're clearly not burning cash in free agency, so the money should go to your guys that do all the damn work. period.

.. and you're another fan that stands here and say Deebo is better than Chase... and that Chase benefitted from a 2nd year QB?

your HC had a chance to get Brady.. and even Staff but didn't.. now you blame GRAPPY on that one too ??
Is JG the hold up in this situation? That guy is the house guest that won't leave. There is no way they keep this stiff on the roster for $25mil at the expense of Samuel. Right?
Can't keep saying players will b around for a long time and then deal them. Seems like a good way to lose credibility everywhere.
I'm pretty sure Deebo's agent's the one stirring the pot here. To say he wants to be the highest paid receiver in the league is a bit premature, IMHO. My rationale is Diggs has 7 yrs in the league, Devante Adams, 8. While it's true they aren't used as RB's, they've paid a lot more dues than Deebo has, entering his 4th year. I'm also thinking Shanahan will beef up the RB corps more so as to limit Deebo's carries. In addition, the OL will likely feature Banks as the LG and potentially Jaylen Moore as the RG. That is, unless McGlinchey's not ready to go. I'd expect Lynch to draft a couple of OL, hopefully a C or OG/C and an OT. Improving the RB and OL corps should decrease the amount of carries Deebo will be asked to do. All that said, the Niners will have to factor in a large extension for Bosa, as well. I agree, they need to part ways with Jimmy, but also understand the Niners want to get something for him. I have faith in the front office...but it'll be a challenge to make Deebo & Nick happy.

Why do we need to replace him? Healthy RBs and actually throwing to our #1 WR would make up that production.

He was the #1 WR.

Was.

The idea Deebo wanted to be the highest paid non-QB was generated by a Dallas Cowboys beat writer. It's based on nothing.
It would be a travesty to lose the best WR, returner and arguably RB on the team.

Why do you consider him loyal?

It's a business. Most players go after the money in almost all cases until they start realizing they want championships. I get that players want their money but it seems like they want to all be paid to dollar. that's just not possible.

I want Deebo here but you can't call a player loyal if he is just entering his first contract negotiation. Loyal to me would be not just wanting highest bidder. Understanding that ot everyone can be the number one paid and that we need all the pieces not just a great WR.

I meant loyal in the sense that he's the type of person to not throw someone under the bus, support his teammates/coaches, and blame himself for losses.
I get what you're saying. Loyalty as in players shouldn't want to be paid so ridiculously high that they Aaron Rodgers the whole team's salary cap. I personally doubt he wants to Aaron Rodgers us.

Nobody has a lot of info on what is going on but I only saw three things lately:

1) Agents that had negotiations with 49ers FO (like Kittle and Trent Williams) expressed how initial negotiations are really heated and nuclear.

2) Deebo was tagged in Ricardo Young's IG about wanting $25 million a year.

3) A derp-ish Dallas Cowboys reporter hyping up his own tweet that Deebo wants to be the highest paid non-QB. Nobody close to the 49ers or Deebo said anything like that.

Then it gets tricky. I could see eiher side of the argument.

Also, I'll be glad to not be making the final decision lol

If the reports are true that he wants to be the highest paid non-QB, then you pay him yesterday, because that price is going to keep climbing. You get Jimmy's useless contract off the team and put 100% of it into part of a signing bonus for Deebo.

Add in injury protections for the team, and get the damned deal done.

Incorrect. Deebo's production goes beyond Deebo's production. He adds in a massive confusion element for the defense. Having a guy like that changes how you key on personnel and formations. It also galvanizes the team emotionally. Neither of these things are not reflected in mere production. Deebo cannot be replaced. Without him, the scheme must change.

As of 2021, yes.

And your "2nd year QB" is already elite. His lack of experience doesn't magically change the fact that he led the NFL in yards per attempt and comp%, threw for over 4,600 yards (almost as much as Jimmy has the last two seasons combined), threw for 34 TDs, and only had 14 picks. That's almost twice as many TDs as Jimmy with only two more INTs.

So a QB that good CLEARLY makes a difference in WR production. I'm not "blaming" Chase for that. I'm pointing out if Deebo was on the Bengals he would have gotten MVP votes this year.

Can't keep saying players will b around for a long time and then deal them. Seems like a good way to lose credibility everywhere.

Some people will say it has no effect, but they are full of s**t. It doesn't THEORETICALLY prevent you from making a top contract over the SPAN of the contract, but it DOES prevent you from adding in certain things in the contract that would require going over the cap. Not to mention, that 27 million Jimmy will be owed isn't Monopoly money. It's real cash that will come out of the York's real (figurative) pockets. Real money that can instead be put in Deebo's pocket.

So no, it's not impossible to re-sign a player to a top contract with Jimmy's albatross still there, but it's easier without it. So there is an effect, even if it doesn't render a contract theoretically impossible.

People can want to be paid as much as humanly possible and be loyal at the same time. These are not mutually exclusive concepts.
