If Deebo wants to leave regardless of what the 49ers offer i see the 49ers have 3 options:
1. Offer him a deal he just cant refuse which will be the largest non QB contract in league history. Everything has a price so even if he wants to leave he can be bought. It can be done but there wont be a lot of money for other players such as Bosa and we all know Bosa is going to be asking for a huge deal too. Thankfully Bosa isn't acting this way. If i were Lynch i'd send Bosa and his agent a Thank You card right now.
2. Let him play out his contract, tag him the next year and let him walk in 2024. This would be a hardline stance but the 49ers have the right. You'd get him for 2 years and get a comp pick when he walks. This is our best option and maybe next year he changes his mind and signs an extension or we trade him at some point in the next 2 years.
3. Trade him now. Offense would take a step back for sure but we'd get the most value for him today.
I hope him and his agent are just playing hardball and he doesn't actually want to leave the 49ers regardless of what they offer. I like option 2 the best but you are only kicking the can down the road and dealing with the issue later on. Only way i would go with 3 is if some team offers a deal you can't refuse.
Don't forget option 2b with the Packers approach to Adams...play out his contract this year and then tag and trade next year.
We could let him play out this year, then tag him x2 before trading him at the beginning of 2024 off-season I believe?. Still hopeful we're able to get a deal done though.
right by the time you tag him twice we will be paying him probably more than if we just worked out a deal with him. and that would probably give them more wiggle room on the cap
