I don't think Juan has too much leverage here. He needs another prove it year to get the long term deal he wants. He might be more valuable to the 49ers than any other team but at what cost. They are already paying Aiyuk stupid money and it is looking like he is on track to be back early and they signed Demarcus Robinson to a 2 year deal likely expecting Juan to be gone next year. I would love for them to sign Juan to an extension but not if he wants top receiver money. He is on a 1 year 7.5M contract right now. I think extend him two more years and give him 35M over the 3 with maybe 20 guaranteed. I like that deal but I don't think he takes that. I think he is looking for something more in the 15M/yr range.
Anyways, we will see how it plays out. He said he won't hold out but won't be happy without a deal or a trade. He might not be happy but he needs to have a great year to get paid so he can frown after every TD if it makes him feel better.
Sats for all,
