Deebo Samuel’s brother Tyquan Samuel under a Facebook post has seemingly confirmed that Deebo will demand a trade from the San Francisco 49ers. ESPN’s Adam Schefter also claims that Deebo is holding up a potential new deal with the San Francisco 49ers. His brother’s comment on Facebook sort of backs Adam’s claim via TPS;
Deebo Samuel’s brother took some time to comment on a 49ers Facebook post and reveal that the star WR will be demanding a trade soon. Samuel is heading into the final year of his rookie deal with a $4.9 million cap hit in 2022.
The 26-year-old is looking for a new contract after a breakout 2021 campaign where he earned his first Pro Bowl selection and was named first-team All-Pro. He finished with 1,405 receiving yards, 365 rushing yards and 14 touchdowns.
The production continued in the playoffs with 291 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns while helping the 49ers reach the NFC Championship Game.
This would be a huge loss for the 49ers.
Thankfully for 49ers fans, brothers don’t dictate contract negotiations, but they should be a bit worried.
“San Francisco would pay Deebo Samuel today, tomorrow, the next day,” Schefter reported Tuesday on NFL Live. ” … This, I think, is Deebo not wanting to get a deal done.”
Schefter also noted that Samuel removed all mentions of the 49ers from social media.
“The 49ers are ready,” Schefter added. “Deebo Samuel is the one who has put a halt to everything for right now.”
Samuel is heading into the final year of his rookie deal with a $4.9 million cap hit in 2022, which ranks 34th among NFL receivers.
