Deebo Samuel pushed his way into the national spotlight with a monster 2021 season that was the most unique by a wide receiver in NFL history. His outstanding season as a pass catcher and rusher was going to make extension talks complicated as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. A scrubbing of the 49ers from his Instagram page led to some speculation there’s a sizable rift between the All-Pro wide receiver and the 49ers.
The publicizing of his unhappiness with the team has led to debate about whether the 49ers should keep or trade Samuel. Most everyone has a take on what San Francisco should do with the receiver that took the NFL by storm last year in his third season as a pro. Cowboys Hall of Famer Michael Irvin weighed in with Damon and Ratto on 95.7 the Game in San Francisco. He’s of the mind the 49ers have to ensure Samuel stays in their building.
