BREAKING: Star WR Deebo Samuel Asks 49ers To Trade Him

The rearrangement of stars this NFL offseason doesn’t appear to be stopping anytime soon.

With the 2022 NFL Draft just a week away, Deebo Samuel has requested a trade from the 49ers.

The WR has emerged into one of the best, if not the most offensive weapon in the league with unmatched versatility catching the ball as well as running it. Samuel’s production led the Niners to a NFC Championship berth and he apparently wants to be compensated with a new contract in return.

After contract talks stalled, Samuel scrubbed all mention of the 49ers from his social media accounts and now has officially expressed his wishes to play elsewhere.

Breaking News: I just spoke to wide receiver Deebo Samuel — and he told me that he has asked the 49ers to trade him.

He did not want to discuss specific reasons behind his request, but he has indeed let the 49ers know his desire to leave the organization. More to come.
