Deebo Samuel Trade Request Makes it Easy for 49ers to MOVE ON


Listen Later

The 49ers offseason is in full swing as the team looks ahead to crucial decisions under Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. With NFL news heating up around Brock Purdy's contract negotiations, the 49ers front office is carefully weighing their options while also preparing for the NFL draft. 🏈It wouldn't be a 49ers offseason without a player/contract dispute and Deebo Samuel wasted NO TIME. On Super Bowl Sunday, it was announced that Deebo Samuel is seeking a trade and the 49ers are allowing his agent to find another team. This news was surprising but not really shocking. Deebo is coming off his worse season as a 49er and according to reports, the team is ready to officially move on from the 29 years old hybrid wide receiver/running back. It has become a theme ever since the 49ers started sustaining success, every offseason there has been drama with a player wanting more money. Last year the team had 3 holdouts- Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffrey, and Trent Williams. ALL 3 of those players who got paid, were out most of last season due to injuries. And when the team that expected to be competing for a Super Bowl, it was a rude awakening finishing 6-11 and last in the NFC West. With the most recent reports coming out, this appears to be a different front office- one that is drawing a line in the sand and not going to mess around with players... and for a guy like Deebo who was a made-man in the building, he will be the first in what could be many changes to come as the team looks to retool into a new phase of the Kyle Shanahan- John Lynch era.
