Contract extension talks between the 49ers and All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel apparently didn’t get off to a great start. The first update on the negotiations came from Samuel when he scrubbed the 49ers from his Instagram account.
While the social media activity appeared to be the result of the regular ebbs and flows of complicated contract talks, ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Tuesday suggested on NFL Live that Samuel is the one who doesn’t want to do a deal in the Bay Area.
“San Francisco wants to pay Deebo Samuel, but Deebo Samuel was the one who scrubbed the 49ers logos off his social media page,” Schefter said. “Deebo Samuel is the one that essentially, basically made it known he wanted to move on. San Francisco would pay Deebo Samuel today, tomorrow, the next day.
