The Merged Trade for Deebo Samuel Thread

Lynch really doesn't want to do this. He's not trading Deebo until he literally has no choice. 

He has a choice.

1) Trade him for the best offer.

2) Force him to remain a Niner. This would potentially make future potential FA's look elsewhere and risk him refusing to play anyway then getting much less in trade value down the road.

The difference between good franchises and bad ones is that good ones don't let their stars shoot their way out of town 

 

 

And the Jets haven’t even had a star player who could’ve shot his way out of town.

You mean like the Steelers, Chiefs and Packers?

Did Davonte Adams and Tyreek hill openly bash their franchises? These were business moves. 

Teams that let their stars insult them in public and make the trade anyway are showing their bellies. It's not like some strong negotiation tactic. It's weakness 

John lynch runs a legit franchise. Jd runs an embarrassment

Pales in comparison to precedence setting of letting everyone you draft decide if they feel like still being on the team every off-season

I'm also wondering if this is about driving up contract re-negotiations.

  • My feelings are hurt
  • Here's an extra 5M
  • Oh, I feel better now!

And remember, not all trade requests end up in trades (though quite a few of the recent high profile ones have).

I forget who brought it up but I feel like the owners are 100% going to do something to put a stop to this thing. The precedent has pretty much already been set this offseason across the league.

The only way it happens is owners to start calling bluffs and letting these guys sit out.  

Not easy to do - but I can't think of any way they can change a rule to stop players from threatening to hold out.

I get what you're saying but if an owner does that today it hurts them and the player. 

For sure.

I just don't see any other rule that the owners can implement to change it.   They have plenty of rules in place to protect them from this.

I do think the - they will be harmed in free agency - thing is overblown and doubt that's the case.  Guys know not to get involved in other people's contracts or money - but I doubt they're going to do something not best for them either.

It would be difficult to implement.

They could try putting in some black ball language into the CBA where players who refuse to uphold their contracts can't be signed by another team. This would be unlikely to be accepted by the players association without significant give back - maybe contracts need to have some automatic escalators built in if players significantly outplay their deal or something. I don't know, just spit balling.

They could also just agree to black ball players without making it official.

I just find it hard to believe they're going to continue to allow players to peace out whenever they want without some protections.
