Maybe bring In a veteran like J. Jones? Losing Deebo makes us a weaker team, but it's not the end of the world. Looking forward to seeing JJ and Aiyuk shine.
Spot on. If Deebo doesn't want to tote the rock anymore, that's fine. It's going to reduce his value, but that problem isn't mine. I mean, that's what made him such a dual-threat because other teams didn't know if Deebo was going to be a running back or a wide receiver on any given play.
But the NFL is a league where an offense can get away with doing something for
one season before the defensive coaches start breaking down the film and figuring out ways to squash all that stuff. Now that they have film on Deebo, he's not going to surprise anybody anymore.
This only reinforces the urgency to trade Samuel now while his stock is still sky-high.
