the way I see it - he's playing here this season no matter what. So going into next season with Deebo, Kittle, CMC, and second year version of Ricky & Cowing wouldn't be a terrible thing. They should be acclimated and solid after their first year.
i won't be upset if we don't pay BA but I'll understand it and should fetch a nice return next off season if we franchise tag him and trade him to whoever wants to pay him.
Isn't a single team that's gonna play him legit $30M+ a yr. Not sure why fans are even thinking that's a possibility?
I hate the scenario that you won't be upset about…deebo and kittle are older and injury prone. Both guys have a very very good chance of not being here in a yr. Then what? You think a tandem of Ricky and day 3 pick Cowing is gonna keep the train rolling perfectly? Come on now.
This team should not be in the business of trading away GOOD YOUNG talent that actually stays on the field…Paying him is about the future, not just what he's already done.
