Deebo Samuel is requesting a trade from the 49ers, he told an ESPN reporter Wednesday.
Samuel, after ascending to All-Pro status last season in his third year with the 49ers, did not give an exact reason for his desire to leave the franchise, ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported.
The 49ers’ brass, from CEO Jed York to coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch, have insisted this offseason their intent to sign Samuel to a well-earned contract extension, for which he and other 2019 draft products became eligible for this offseason, including defensive end Nick Bosa.
