Good WR for the 49ers ... but >$20M is NUTS.
I was hoping they could find a medium of a couple mil of incentives but what he's asking for is outrageous. You can't even have a negotiation when one guy is that far off.
I think he can get $18M, maybe 20 in FA but who's going to offer a guy who's entering 30+ a massive contract and his best season is not even 1k.
jj is an awesome option when he isn't the first option, IMO. Even though he did well for us, he wasn't eye popping as our primary target.
my feeling is that teams aren't offering much trade wise and that's why Niners say they aren't trading him. They'd trade him for the right price, for sure.
