It's great that they got him signed and all, nice to be done with that distraction, but three years doesn't seem like a very long time. I haven't really paid attention to the deals that other receivers have gotten so don't know if that has become the new model.

It seems to me that if he is just signed through 2025 then come 2024 we'll just be doing this same dance all over again. Perhaps AB81 can enlighten me as to how that works.

If Deebo stays healthy, and plays well, by the time 2024 comes around, I think an extension for Deebo will happen, but yes we could be here again, but that's the NFL, contracts, business side of the game. Imagine if Trey breaks out, turns into even half of Mahomes, he's going to be among those $45M+ a yr QBs.

I like the three year deal, keeps the player motivated.

5-6 year deals can make a player a little complacent.

Deebo only has three years to audition for his next contract.

I'm fine with it too. 5 year contracts - if the player gets hurt like Pierre Garcon, it backfires on the team in a real bad way. If Deebo is all pro all three years, he deserves a 3rd contract and lots of mooolaaa. Hopefully we'll have Lombardi 6, 7, and 8 in the Trophy case by then too.

Long deals were fine before they started guaranteeing so much money. Now that so much is guaranteed it would be too risky for the teams. Players' performance can erode quickly in the NFL.

Three years is the perfect number. Seems like a very fair deal based on the new deals to DK, AJB, and McLauren.

The AJ Brown trade shocked me. It will be interesting to see in a few years to find out what was the better way to go. Signing these top WRs to massive deals or trading them and going for cheaper WRs via the draft.

How many players go more than 3 years without missing significant time? Deebo, JG, Bosa, Kittle, Greenlaw and so many others have missed at least half a season due to injury in the last 3 years.

So is he refusing to be a wide back or not? I guess we'll have to wait and see?

I"ve always thought of him as what Kyle wanted out of Jerrick McKinnon after I saw how good he was as a running back (at the same time a wonderful receiver).
