For the love of GOD I just don't understand why you keep harping on this. Here let me try and explain it the 10th time using new contracts Devonte Adams and Tyreke Hill just signed.
D Adams contract pays him a modest 8.1 million in 2022. In '23 it jumps to 30 million.
T Hill contract pays him a modest 6.5 million in 2022. In '23 it jumps to 30+ million.
Deebo is under contract for 4.9 million in 2022. The 49ers can easily structure his contract similar to where he still gets paid the 4.9 million in '22 and in '23 his contract will jump up like Adams and Hill's.
So in a nutshell, getting rid of Jimmy's contract would be nice but its not preventing the 49ers from extending Deebo. Once Jimmy G is traded they can easily go back and give Deebo more up front if that's what they want to do. And to blow your mind even further, they can reduce his '22 pay and move it out a couple years. If the money is guaranteed it just doesn't matter.
