What's worrying is reports that he won't accept top dollar to play here. If those are false reports then so be it.. even so I don't see him coming close to doing what he did last year. Even if he did the injury risk is off the charts with the ridiculous usage. I'm kinda of the opinion just ship him out for a huge haul, let's rock the draft, free up tons of future cash not going to this guy, add a FA receiver.. Don't need this ongoing saga into the offseason when it should be about TL his development he's working hard right now with BA let's let BA be the #1.
I don't believe for one second that he wouldn't accept top dollar to play here...just a week ago his insta said $25M nothing less. So that's the number.
If he had zero intensions of resigning here....then the trade discussions would have happens months ago, not a week before the draft.
Didn't Rappaport state that the request was done weeks ago? Probably before he scrubbed the team on Instagram. Now I agree that teams haven't discussed trade because of how the timeline appears based on the assumption that the team has no intention of trading him.
The way I look at it is the team probably said no to the request and he got upset. He then Scrubbed the team that day to show how serious he was. Weeks later Schefter reports the team wants to pay him but Deebo doesn't want to do a deal. Deebo and his agent take that and decide to give their side of it by telling Darlington they requested to be traded. In between the request and yesterday I doubt any talks with other teams occurred. Because of yesterday's announcement, teams probably called and asked what it would take in which John Lynch made some unreal demand that if met they would consider it. All the while knowing no one will do it. Then Schrager reports that other GMs who have made contact quickly tell him he isn't getting traded.
Simply put, Deebo will only be traded if a team offers something ridiculous. Otherwise he will stay. These talking heads saying the #10 pick for Deebo may look at that as fair, but that's only the case if the 49ers are interested in trading him. Now, there may be a compromise but it will have to include a 1st round pick. Could be both Jets 2nd rounders this year and their 1st next year, but won't be what the Hill offer was for.


( I do actually prefer Boston to NYC)
