Just yrs. SF loves 5yr extensions and Deebo being an older player coming out of college wanted a shorter deal to get that 3rd contract. 4 yrs total is perfect imo. Won't be shocked if there's a void yr in there to spread out some cash

I hadn't thought about length being a sticking point.

Good job getting this done.... i apologize to AB... he told me we can do this while still keeping jimmy.... i knew i should not have disagreed but i did and I was happily very very wrong.... i hope the people who actually wanted deebo gone and who actually thought we could just skip along with out cuz we did not need him have come to their senses and have realized we are a worse team without him... now use him as a wide out... and then unlike last year when we had to . for whatever reason( part of me says jimmy but thats beside the point).. just make very very clever use of him as a running back.. good job to whoever got this deal done. AB , as usual was right all along... of all of the things cc could lose his mind about. this was never one of them and all the tweets and stupid pictures ended up meaning nothing. good job all the way around/. AB is awesome and for once i was told something...... that turned out true

I'm always very happy you are often wrong, CC!

to be fair let's not act like Deebo's agent couldn't have lied and leaked that Deebo was unhappy about being used as a RB purely for negotiating tactics.

to be fair just let it go

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

I think he'll continue to do end arounds, but the wide back, I think is over for now.

I dunno. Deebo likes to win. I think Deebo would play Left Tackle if it would guarantee the 49ers a super bowl win.

He shouldn't be running up the middle tho. If it's do or die, playoffs/SB fine and I'm sure he'll be ok. Not some random wk 3 bs. We got plenty of backs to run up the middle with

Deebo Samuel's year-by-year salary-cap hits:

2022: $965k
2023: $9.1m
2024: $29m
2025: $24.7m
2026 (void): $7.1m

The 49ers are taking full advantage of the $100+ billion cash infusion the NFL is about to see from its new media deals, which should allow cap to explode

This. Dude on NFL Radio said, "We are knew this was going to get done." GTFOOH with that. Nearly all the media said the exact opposite. Clowns.

It's been reported there is no role-related language in the contract and that he'll do as he's asked no different than any other player.

Agreed.

I'd still prefer to see him used solely as a receiver and save those jet sweeps for when they're needed most. Hopefully the run game is clicking on all cylinders this season so we won't see Deebo used in that capacity as much.
