Not an idiot I don't blame him for being human. He didn't choose SF. It's a great situation for football right now with KS and TL and JL but there is more to life than football. If he wants to raise his family somewhere else like on the East Coast that's his right. It's the free part in free agency. You're not just choosing your workplace but where you want to live, raise your family, be close to home, etc. If his preference is to get paid top dollar and be closer to home I wouldn't blame him.
It's on JL to do what is best for the team. Resign Deebo is the top option. Course that requires Deebo put pen to paper and sign. If he won't, trade may be our best route to make sure we are fairly compensated. We could still have Aiyuk, Jennings, Kittle... I see BA ascending to a #1 with TL, Jennings ascending to a #2 and an elite TE to boot... plus if we are down Deebo we would surely add Julio or Will Fuller.. someone to compensate.. Marquise Goodwin is available.
You make a good point but as of now he is not a free agent, he has another year on his contract.
