***Will The Collaboration Station trade for Deebo?***

You know my love for Deebo. That is who I wanted us to draft in that draft. 

But, he's been used and abused and what are we getting now? Based on what Wolf said, "we need someone with speed on the outside", I don't think Deebo fits this mold at all. And, I wouldn't want him as my #1, carrying the load for this team. That will just wear him down even more. 

As much as I love Deebo I would pass on this trade. 

He is 28 going on 29 and has cap hits of 28 and 24 million.
Hard pass on Deebo. The team isn’t a superbowl contender and has many holes to fill and they want a second and third rounder for him and their other wr wants a massive deal. They only have 6 mil left on cap space and need to sign their own draft picks. No reason to help the 49ers with their cap problems so they can resign their younger disgruntled wr.

If it was for our 3rd round pick, I would consider it. But like others said, we might be getting a Deebo out of his prime now and certainly wouldn't ideally be a number 1 on a good team. The cap hit doesn't bother me too much because we have the space and I believe its only 2 years left on his deal. But for 34? No chance. I'd rather stick and draft McConkey or AD Mitchell (or preferably a good tackle)

The 49ers painted themselves in a corner with their cap room and drafting a wr in round 1. It announces to the league that they need to move Deebo or aiyuk.
2025 has them over the cap already with just 38 players signed and while they have 2026 cap room that may change with a purdy extension and aiyuk.

No, hence my statement "for the right price".  Could be some dead money there, prorated signing bonuses, etc.  Don't know how much is guaranteed or they could outright cut him and save money.  I wouldn't assume his cap hit is what we'd have to pay him.  I'm sure it isn't.  Probably not even close to that.

I’d like to see the pats doing what the thunder did in the nba. If you aren’t going to compete and have a huge amount of cap room, take on a bad contract that is either expiring or has 1 additional year left and get a draft pick in next years draft for making that happen.
The pick would based based on the cap hit and the years left on the deal compared to the top players at their position.
Over 20 mil on a deal with 1 year left and not a top 10 player (non qb’s) = next years second. Same player on a deal that expires at year end = next years 3rd.
Some contenders may take this option to free up space for fa, trades, or extensions.
The team has to get to the threshold and has so much cap space currently that this could be an effective way this year and next year to get additional picks and still rebuild.
Also, there are some deals that I wouldn’t consider even if there were first rounders involved (Watson, kyler).

I like that idea.  That's what Detroit did with Goff, basically.  Except it went unexpectedly well so they had their cake and ate it, too. 

I can't remember who it was, but someone did something like that with Osweiler. Took him and his cap hit off Denver's hands for a pick. Apparently, Denver was unaware that the cap isn't real...

But, yeah the Pats are in a position to do that.  

Deebo is a luxury for a team that can compete to win next year, the Patriots are not that team.

Deebo is often injured and probably o; downside

The kid that compares best to Deebo in this draft was Legette. 

Polk is Kendrick Bourne with better hands.
