Have we seen the last of Deebo Samuel with the San Francisco 49ers? If you put weight behind the Pro Bowl receiver’s actions on social media, he could be demanding a trade.

Not all that different from Kyler Murray‘s approach earlier this offseason, Samuel has stripped his Instagram of all references to his current team, removing the 49ers from his profile pic, unfollowing the team’s account and has deleted over 80 posts according to Ari Meirov.

Contract situation could lead to Deebo Samuel trade

Deebo Samuel is entering the final year of his rookie contract, which sets him up for a massive payday in the 2023 offseason. However, being that he’s the most talented player on the 49ers’ offensive depth chart, and arguably one of the best on their entire roster, it had been widely assumed the team would get out ahead of any potential unrestricted free agency. Of course there’s always the franchise tag, but signing him now could mean a more affordable price later when the salary cap is set to rise.
