The 49ers on Tuesday open mandatory minicamp, and disgruntled wide receiver Deebo Samuel will be in attendance. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport first reported the news.
Samuel’s negotiations on a long-term extension haven’t gone well, with the All-Pro WR requesting a trade before the NFL draft. He’d yet to attend any of the offseason program, and his presence for mandatory minicamp is an indication that the rift between Samuel and the team is at least beginning to close.
This isn’t the end of the Samuel saga though. His attendance doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll participate, and there’s still a tricky contract extension to hammer out.
