The Deebo Samuel contract situation with his San Francisco 49ers is one of the NFL’s biggest storylines with less than a month to go before training camps open.

It was immediately ahead of the 2022 NFL Draft back in April that Samuel requested a trade from the 49ers. At that point, it seemed that the two sides were far apart in contract talks. Even as recent as June 10, reports indicated that Samuel had not rescinded his trade request.

We now have more information on this via NFL insider Aaron Wilson over at Pro Football Network. Apparently, there’s renewed optimism that a Deebo Samuel contract extension will get done at some point soon.

Deebo Samuel has not rescinded his trade request from the 49ers

This report comes on the same day that Washington Commanders star wide receiver Terry McLaurin agreed to a whopping three-year, $71 million contract extension with $53 million guaranteed.

McLaurin had joined the likes of DK Metcalf and Samuel in being a holdout during voluntary off-season acivities as the NFL wide receiver market continues to change on a near never-ending loop.
