Deebo Samuel: Trade request| Contract extension| Extension
Trade request:
Selected in the second round of the 2019 draft, Samuel flashed dangerous potential early on but ran into injuries throughout his first two seasons.
From 2019-2020, Samuel played 22 games, contributing 90 catches for 1,193 yards and four receiving scores. He also had 22 carries for 185 yards and three rushing touchdowns.
Samuel finally shed the injury bug and broke out in 2021, at times carrying the entire San Francisco offense on his back once Shanahan began utilizing him as a ball carrier in addition to his wideout duties.
Contract extension:
The San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Deebo Samuel have agreed on a three-year contract extension worth up to $73.5 million with $58.1 million guaranteed, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday.
Samuel had initially emerged as the next domino to fall in an offseason of massive WR upheaval after it was reported he wanted out of the Bay Area — due in part to his overtaxed role in the 49ers’ offense — but tension between the sides thawed throughout the offseason.
Extension:
Even if York didn’t make the actual call to Deebo Samuel’s agent this weekend to finalize a new three-year, $73.5 million extension in time for Monday’s first padded practice, York surely signed off on the uncommon aspects of this deal.
Maybe lead negotiator Paraag Marathe or general manager John Lynch suggested it. But again, the owner has to agree to it.
By the time Samuel reported to camp on Tuesday, both general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan expressed confidence that a deal would get done in short order.
