Deebo Samuel has requested a trade

[Ice]

Whoever makes him to be the highest paid receiver is going to give him an incredibly solid workload.

This is true.

Given he had the third highest yards from scrimmage in the entire NFL last year it will be hard to duplicate but someone will try. He is a great player.

So is he wanting to be used more like a RB or less like a RB? For his health's sake, I hope it's less.

Survey says. Less.

Reading the tea leaves, it sounds like "less" to me.

I think the Jets are going to be heavily involved here, considering they're already running a knock-off 49ers offensive scheme, have a well known thirst for a #1 WR, and have both the assets and the financial flexibility to give him a mega-extension.

Odds are out:

Colts: +450
Chiefs: +500
Jets: +500
Saints:+500
Packers: +600
Eagles: +800

Agreed that the Packers would never do anything so aggressive/exciting Especially given that Deebo has allegedly said he wants to be the "highest paid non-QB".

But yeah, that's just Vegas being Vegas and taking people's money. One thing I do think is correct, though: all the AFC teams are on the top. No chance the Niners want to send this guy inside the NFC - if it does indeed come to that.

Time to sell aiyuk!!

Don't you mean time to buy Aiyuk?

Time to sell Aiyuk would be after Deebo is actually traded away.
I doubt Aiyuk's value goes up much now just based on conjecture.
It may be up a little, but the jump will be much more if Deebo is actually traded.

No I mean sell. The bump he gets now is a perfect sell point for him

I'll just agree to disagree then.
IMO, yes, trade rumors may give Aiyuk a slight bump up.
However, the real bump won't come until Deebo actually leaves the team.

Just like when JuJu signed with the Cheifs, his value went up a bit, but JuJu's value took a bigger bump when Hill was traded to the Dolphins.

Jets have to be in the driver's seat here.

What are you expecting to get as a return?

Anything I could get if I had him lol. One guy got the 1.07 in a league. I don't have aiyuk anywhere though...

He was embracing it in season. This feels like his agent sat him down to explain his long term financial outlook to him, if he kept playing this role.

Could be, there is definitely something going on behind the scenes.

Deebo is a Yac monster so I have to think there is more to it. No matter where he goes, his game is shorter burst type routes and breaking tackles.

They did run him hard in the playoffs. He was basically a one man show.

[berserkers]

Deebo isn't going anywhere. No reason they'll trade him right now, especially since Lance is the QB. Things will get worked out. I think Lynch and Shanahan will sit down and settle all his concerns about usage.

Once Deebo gets paid his boatload of guaranteed money he will go back to embracing his role

[dustyroads]

I think this is a big statement about his opinion on Trey Lance as well. Probably sees how limited Lance is, realizes his touches coming out of the backfield will likely increase even more because of Lance's limitations, and just wants out of the 49ers altogether for his career longevity at this point. I think it tracks with his previous statements of being the highest paid WR, likely calling back to Le'Veon Bell wanting to get paid as both RB and WR considering his usage.

[toine]

I hope Deebo gets out of SF. I don't think it's about taking a few carries now and then, but more about Shanahan not giving a damn about players' health. He will put any player in danger of taking massive hits if it means 3 yards and a 1st down... He almost got RG3 killed and he is going to do the same to Deebo.
