There's no way Kyle will ditch Deebo, it makes no sense, unless he falls off that badly in 2024, he will be here in 2025, having both CMC & Deebo are key to the offense working the way it does, without Deebo we suffered badly, and I don't see anyone out there in the NFL that can be Deebo, he's basically 1/1 IMO
This! I've been telling everyone that we can afford our whole team even paying 2 great receivers that much money. Philadelphia has done exactly that and they have a ton of people. They are paying a lot of money on offense and defense. We can do the same. We may have to let go of Banks, which is fine, so drafting a tackle/guard in the first round that will replace him next year is fine. I really want to re-sign Lenoir even more-so than Hufanga bc Huf will come with a higher price tag because he was an all pro. We can keep this team together and make Super Bowl runs year after year. Also, just because Deebo isn't a great route runner doesn't mean he's the best playmaker in the league with the ball in his hands. Trading him would be a mistake.
We have 6 mil in cap space right now.
Cap space will increase some more in 2025. Projections are between 10-20 mil (we won't know for sure until next year though)
Right now for 2025 we are: -30 mil in cap space if the 2025 season started today

After this season we have these FAs:
Huf
Lenoir
Mooney
Greenlaw
Collins
Jennings
Banks
Feliciano
Mitchell
This is not counting all the depth guys we have as well.

Some of these guys are going to require a lot of money to resign. We can't do them all. We don't have the cap space. We need to do a couple restructures again and we will have to most likely trade/cut a couple guys.
AB also said there's no way we get rid of AA, and he's gone.
Eagles lost a lot of talent this offseason so using them as an example isn't that good. They were able to resign a couple good players, but they had to let go of good players as well. We will have to do the same. And Purdy is going to his extension next offseason as well (his first year cap hit will be low, but you have to plan that money out to 2026 then).
It's possible Deebo is still here after this season, but I wouldn't bet money on it. I also see Juice being cut next year (will probably retire though)
Yeah, we are definitely losing some good players however with the FA bargains we usually get to fill holes left by players leaving like you said, I'm sure the drop off won't be too bad.
The Eagles lost some talent but upgraded with Saquon Barkley, CGJ at safety and have a 50 mil qb (as we will have) so they are as close to us as an example as there is. 2 of the best rosters with the most all pros.
Also, with the cap increasing and retirements of players like Trent Williams in the next 2 years will free up a ton of space. Restructuring and staggering contracts are also something the niners are great at so we can keep a lot of our talent
