The San Francisco 49ers Pro Bowler Deebo Samuel might become the latest star wideout to change teams this offseason. According to multiple reports, Samuel wants to be traded and has recently made a formal trade request to the 49ers.

Samuel himself confirmed the news to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington on Wednesday, although the reasons behind his trade request remain unknown.

The most likely reason for Samuel’s decision is the lack of a new contract. The 26-year-old player has one year left on his rookie deal and is reportedly looking to take advantage of the exploding wide receiver market. San Francisco is interested in extending the South Carolina prospect but not at the price he has in mind.

Another reason Samuel might be looking to leave San Francisco is the way he was used in 2021. With a lack of depth in the running back position, the 49ers leaned on Samuel to be the main contributor in the backfield on top of his tasks as a wideout. But while the player was willing to step up as a dual-threat last season, it isn’t something he would entertain in the long run.

As of now, it seems unlikely that the 49ers will entertain bids for their star wide receiver. According to the reports, the first reaction is that it would take a “crazy” offer for the franchise to even consider dealing Samuel. However, they are definitely not in a hurry, considering they still have him under contract for one more year and can use the franchise tag if needed in 2023.

Samuel had a breakthrough season in 2021 that saw him catch 77 passes for 1,405 receiving yards and six touchdowns. He also had 364 yards and eight TDs on the ground, resulting in All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors.

The season might not be over for the San Francisco 49ers. Despite opening 2021 with a 3-5 record, the 49ers kept their playoffs hopes alive by beating the heavily-favored Los Angeles Rams on Monday night.

The 49ers’ defense came up big to start the game, intercepting Rams star quarterback Matthew Stafford. Facing 2nd&8 on his own half, Stafford threw a bomb to newly-acquired wideout Odell Beckham Jr., but the pass was well off and allowed San Francisco’s safety Jimmie Ward to come up with a pick.

The interception set up an impressive drive by the 49ers offense that included 18 plays, and lasted more than 11 minutes, covered 93 yards, and culminated with QB Jimmy Garoppolo finding tight end George Kittle in the endzone.

Shortly after, Ward picked off Stafford once again, but this time he managed to go all the way to the end and make it 14-0 for San Francisco.

The Rams finally managed to put some points on the board early in the second quarter after Stafford connected with tight end Tyler Higbee on a 10-yard TD pass.

Everyone expected the Rams to pick themselves up after this, but the 49ers had other ideas and immediately responded with Deebo Samuel’s rushing touchdown before the end of the half.

The second half saw more of the same. The LA team struggled to get into the rhythm on both defense and offense while San Francisco continued to add to their lead with Robbie Gould’s 50-yarder and Samuel’s second TD of the game.

The Rams did manage to get on the board once more after Matt Gay made a 37-yarder late in the fourth to make it 10-31.

The win improved San Francisco to a 4-5 record, but they still have a long way to go if they want to make it to the postseason. The Rams, on the other hand, are 7-3 and sit one game behind the Arizona Cardinals (8-2) in NFC West.

Second-year wideout Deebo Samuel is joining the San Francisco 49ers’ lengthy list of injured players. Samuel strained his hamstring in Sunday’s loss to Washington and will most likely be out for the remainder of 2020.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed the news to reporters on Monday, saying that the only chance Samuel plays again this season is if the team makes the playoffs.

“He’s going to be out awhile, not ready to put a timeline on it yet,” said Shanahan. “I think we’d have to make the playoffs for him to come back.”

This scenario seems highly unlikely, as San Francisco faces a mammoth challenge to make it to the postseason with their current 5-8 record. 

They would need to win all three of their remaining games while getting other results to match in order to have a shot at the last wild-card spot in the NFC.

After a promising rookie campaign, Deebo Samuel was limited to just seven games this season due to various injuries. He will most likely finish 2020 with 33 catches for 391 yards and one touchdown.

Injuries have been the story of the season for the 49ers as some of their key players struggled to stay healthy. Other than Samuel, San Francisco lost a handful of other players to injuries, including star tight end George Kittle, Pro Bowl defensive end Nick Bosa, and starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.

The San Francisco 49ers’ offseason workouts didn’t start well for Deebo Samuel. The team announced on Thursday that Samuel suffered a fracture in his foot during a throwing session earlier this week and had to undergo surgery.

It remains unclear how much time Samuel will miss, as the 49ers are expected to reassess his situation once the team enters training camp. However, sources within the organization say that the 24-year-old wideout is expected to be ready for action since Week 1 of the regular season.

Samuel also shared similar optimism while acknowledging the injury via social media.

Not having Deebo Samuel for the start of the season would definitely be a big blow for the 49ers’ hopes to return to Super Bowl. Samuel had a strong rookie year in 2019, finishing with 47 catches for 802 and three touchdowns. He was even a threat in the ground game, amassing 159 yards and three TDs in 14 carries.

Besides Samuel, 49ers’ receiving core includes 2020’s first-round pick Brandon Aiyuk and veterans Travis Benjamin and Kendrick Bourne.
