I clearly stated it likely won't happen but to say it's impossible is a bit silly. again they have purdy for under 1 mil next year guaranteed they ca';t negotiate an extension for him if they want to. It creates an interesting opportunity to the Niners if they see it. For that one year they can overpay a few players on one-year contracts. Because they are getting at least a 20-30 mil discount on their starting QB for that one year. In that climate taking a chance and investing in future goodwill throwing JJ and extra mil is not really so out of the pale. If it does not pan out thats cap space that opens up for the next year. If It does pan out they can get mental leverage on resigning JJ to a longer-term contract down the road. Deebo is 28 and his contract is up after 2025 Brandon Aiyuk is a totally different type of player and thats pretty much the end of the Niners WR depth chart. To give you some context in the postseason JJ got the same number of targets as George Kittle and was third on the team in receptions. he missed 4 games but still was 3rd among WR's in targets and catches and it wasn't close. He is in their plans.
So though my post was couched in some wishful thinking it does have factual evidence behind it. for more context I am a Niners fan since I was a kid I don't just follow them because of JJ I've been rocking with them since the Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Tom Rathman, John Taylor, Brent Jones , Roger Craig days (late 80's early 90's). I probably watched 30 NFL games this year from beginning to end and 20 of them were Niners games. I am not pulling this completely out of my arse. So sir if you are going to discount the thought please give some logic behind it.
