Sung to the tune of Jocko Homo by Devo.
Story is, he wants $25 million per year. Curiously enough, the amount that would be freed up by the dismissal of Jimmy Garoppolo. Not saying that will happen, but what I will say is this likely doesn’t get resolved till well after the draft and more toward the start of OTAs and all that shit.
In other words, a holding pattern. As far as I know, and can glean from the medias and interwebs, is that Deebo is happy here and wants to stay. The 49ers certainly don’t want to let Deebo seek greener (and boy, it WILL be greener either way) pastures and dear old Kyle was a wide receiver himself and surely doesn’t want to let this gem go.
Are we not fans?
We are Niners!
This is all wind and sails. Deebo will sign a 4 year, $100 mill extension in June.
All I’ll say is if KC makes a push for Deebo, they will likely be the faves to win the Super Bowl. But they need defensive help as well.
Think they would give their 2 late 1st rders and then pay him Hill money. I kinda doubt it but it would make them the odds on favorite to win it all IMO.
Observations on lynch’s pre-draft presser. McGlinchey healthy for training camp. Torn quad tendon off the bone. Surgery like what Minnesota Kyle Rudolph had after rookie season. Assume he will be the same as before.
IOL all new. Banks LG – Brunskill C – Moore RG . Mack is pulling a Staley?
Shanahan not in presser. Involved in deebo picks for later in week?
49ers GM John Lynch told reporters” he cannot imagine a scenario where they let Deebo Samuel go.”
Lynch went on to say that “Samuel is too good of a player and a person to let go of.” This fits with reporting that the 49ers are actively looking to extend Samuel. However, the star wide receiver is reportedly uninterested in an extension and simply wants to play elsewhere. Given that Deebo remains on his rookie contract, and can be franchise tagged in 2023, it seems more likely than not that the 49ers eventually reach an extension with the 26-year-old.
My guess is Lynch is towing the line but taking calls.
Yep. May not go public until the highest pick is called. If #35 then Friday. No more deebo and hello picks.
JL said Bosa got his 5th year option and extension can come anytime. Deebo camp got boilerplate noncommitals bs.
My hope is deebo picks on day 1 and/or day 2. Only question is trade already done or not.
Looks like we already have a FA centre to succeed Mack in JC Tretter. On May 2 it will be official. So Trey has good vet covered and will not effect comp pick calculations . Draft C in later round. So good chance for S, nickel CB, edge before that.
JL’s talk indicates multiple bidders out there. I hope there is a deal now and will be announced at the podium Thursday night.
The downside of keeping him is not good.
Now Daniel Jeremiah joins tony Pauline saying NYJ #10 for deebo on Thursday night. Using Jimmy Johnson trade value weighting that is a richer deal than the hill or Adam’s trades that approximated a #13 pick. Could happen with a young deebo versus wr bust risk.
This is a godsend for SF. PLEASE get him off the roster. New York needs lots of starters . They have their franchise QB and the cap space.
Per Scott Ostler, we all know how much Shanahan loves the running game, but too much of that is not a sustainable formula. Shanahan goes through running backs at an alarming rate. Gotta shift the run-to-pass ratio so it’s in line with reality.
It doesn’t do any good to be a genius who creates superstar ball carriers if you (and management) can’t find a way to keep ‘‘em around. Where have you gone Raheem Mostert.
Mostert can’t seem to stay healthy.
I think that was Ostler point about going through RB’s.
I agree with all of that, the big problem we as fans have is we don’t know what ticked Deebo off, did he clearly state he does not want to be a running back/WR and the Niners said too bad so sad you will do as your told. Is it a money thing. We as fans might never know. We know he likes playing for Shanahan and Lynch. So IMO upper Management (Jed) needs to just write the check and enjoy the run to the SB, and leave personnel issues with who knows players.
Agree, that we may never know. If it wasn’t for Deebo’s running ability we wouldn’t even be having this conversation. If he didn’t like being a running back he could have said that to KS instead he took it public no doubt for financial reasons. He is still under contract and he just wants his cake a little sooner. It’s obvious he doesn’t want to be a Niner when he could go somewhere else for more money. In some ways I hope we don’t trade him and then tag him for next year. But then we would be losing out on some good possibilities. Just like all the recent big contracts the Niners have given out Deebo would have gotten his all he had to do is keep it in house and wait a little longer imo.
Latest rumor on NN is #10 plus WR Elijah Moore. If true take it JL. If they want the best deebo replacement maybe take Treylon Burks in the teens.
So WR is settled and S, nickel CB, edge, and another little type TE with trade ups to get the best they can.
I doubt they give up Moore that would be to good.
Draft starts 27.5 hours from now. A tradeable deebo needs a physical and a contract. Tick tock.
RB is a dangerous position. The way Shanny uses them us is more an indictment of the game, not the players. Which is why Shanny needs to stop running Deebo up the middle. If we even have him.
A weak armed QB and risk avoidance playcalling just stacks the box. Trey won’t have that problem.
RB’s breathe a sigh of relief!
