I know alot of reasons for trading has been posted. I only would if he wanted too much. I was at 22 mil/yr. I can talk myself into 25/yr. HOWEVER, I would not go a penny over that. Waaaay too much for a WR. If you sign him for too much there stands a chance You can't keep Aiyuk when his time comes. And if Aiyuk surpasses Deebo as our go to. Then we financially screwed the pooch.
Yes there is a chance you trade him and what you get in return don't turn out. Just as there is a chance if you trade him you improve your team.
The point of my initial post was, wanting to trade Deebo wouldn't make us any less of a fan than those who think we should pay him at all cost. We are just looking at roster construction from a different point of view. Yes some takes may leaving you scratching your head but there is more than one way to get to where we want to go.
If we don't find a way to extend Deebo I can see a majority of the fanbase losing faith in the front office. In particuarly, John Lynch. I am pretty sure a lot of us still have a bad taste in our mouths over the Buckner fiasco. As far as Aiyuk, that is a couple years down the road and by then the cap will have gone up significantly and other things can be done to make that extension happen.
