James "Deebo" Harrison

Because when you start doing things like this, Debo, the thing is when you're in the National Football League that you realize really quickly, they don't need you.

They want you until they don't need you anymore, until your ability is not managing what is going on off the field.

As soon as that happens, once you start making the $30 million contracts per year, that kind of starts to happen a little quicker.

Like, okay, are you really worth the headache?

So for me, any football team, they're trying to find reasons not to pay guys.

Right.

He think he's doing this just to the 49ers.

You're doing it to the other.

There's 31 other teams that are saying this.

Yes, and that's when I'm looking at it now where it's like, I understand where you don't want to be there with the 49ers, but you're turning off...

so many other people and owners and teams at the same time.

Understand that you want to go to the commanders.

I'm hoping that end of the day, if it gets out of the situation, you get there, you go ball out.

I want the best for you to be able to go play.

But when you're from the outside, being retired now, looking in on what's going on, it's like this, oh my gosh.

This man is really jeopardizing the money that you had guaranteed with him.

You could be doing things and talking to your agent, and there's ways where the team is doing things dirty to you.

We know you want to get out of there, but there's certain ways you can do it to protect yourself still, still be getting paid your money, because at the end of the day, we know it's not going to last forever.

Making another $24 million that they voided, that doesn't hurt you right now.

I'm just looking at it like, damn, I know.
