If he is about every dollar, he is gone. If he is about "right around top dollar" and staying with a contender they have a chance to retain him.

I don't see BA as a diva type. He comes off as a nose to the grindstone team player. Now that he has built a rapport with Purdy and is being featured in Shanahan's offense, I don't think he has a reason to leave. I don't think he will demand a ridiculous contract and I don't see us low balling him. The FO knows what BA means to this offense.

I think that's wishful thinking. BA will absolutely demand an exorbitant contract. IMO, top 5 WR money. He's worth it and continues to earn it every Sunday. He knows his production is limited by the scheme and style of offense, and his agent will make sure to emphasize that during negotiations. Also, every great WR has some "diva' tendencies, and BA is no different. Dude was visibly upset last year and literally punched the air and threw up his hands in multiple times over Jimmy.

Yep, and as he should. I hope he gets paid his worth

Perhaps I should specify what ridiculous means since you obviously think it means somewhere in the top 5. It means to be the highest paid at the position. And no, I don't believe he will demand to be the highest paid WR in the NFL. I also CLEARLY stated that I don't believe the FO is going to low ball him because they know he is worth a top 5 contract. Also, getting frustrated because Jimmy refused to throw the ball anywhere else but to Deebo doesn't make BA a diva. Now that Jimmy is gone and he has become Brock's go to, he has nothing to be frustrated over anymore. So now, go a head with your poor reading skills and continue to try and twist my words again and pretend like I said something that I did not.

17 game projection. Possibly a little different because he missed one game. That could change the calculation. He may or may not miss more.

1,360 yards. 9 TD's.

That's approaching Jerry Rice numbers!

when rubber meets the road, we can trade Deebo and pay BA
Gray in the pipeline, and draft another round 1-3 guy, KS can groom WRs, this is proven

Personally, I think Deebo is more important in this offense than Aiyuk. Deebo is CMC 2.0 and a beast in the run game as well as the passing game (as a YAC) monster. Kyle's offense, keep in mind, is a run first offense and Deebo is *both a WR and RB* and backs up CMC so defenses can't key on CMC the way the Patriots did against *The Greatest Turd's on Turf offense* in the Super Bowl. I agree with AB81 - 49ers are racking their brains on finding ways to keep him, and I believe they will be able to keep him because Purdy is not costing them a boatload of money right now.

I guess you didn't watch this offense when Deebo missed the last 4 weeks of last season? CMC actually makes Deebo less important because he too can play RB as well as WR. Missing BA made the giants game tougher than it needed to be.

And one of those games he got injured early and I don't think he was as effective as he could of been.

NOT sure how much Deevah is ROBBIN' us, but I'm ALL GOOD to give YUCK more money..

GO NINERSSSSS !!!!
I think Aiyuk is better than Deebo. He's never had a QB that will gun the ball down the field deep. Jimmy never made throws past 12-15 yards in the air.
