My guess is that Deebo specifically asked for the money that is earmarked for Jimmy G. He doesn't just want $25 million, he specifically wants that $25 million and he knows he can't have it if Jimmy remains on the roster, so he had no choice but to request a trade. Sad situation and, besides Jimmy, no one is to blame for it.
Jimmy didn't carried the team on offense last season, deebo did. Jimmy didn't even make the probowl, so should Jimmy's 26M+ go to deebo? Yes probably, since they already have his replacement in Trey.
