After six mostly productive years, the San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Deebo Samuel may have reached the end of the line.

On Feb. 9, Samuel indicated to ESPN that he had asked the 49ers to trade him. The request came in the wake of a poor season for San Francisco, which was limited by a rash of injuries to a 6–11 record.
