(In other words, "Make us an offer we can't or won't refuse.") wp.me/pbBqYq-cfTlFormer NFL player and NFL analyst Marcellus Wiley on Speak for Yourself recently shared his thoughts on the matter:“But will I really want to attach my career to Trey Lance who's going to be forced into action? Or Jimmy G coming back off his shoulder surgery, when Jimmy G stays hurt? Or more importantly, how will he respond after shoulder surgery? So I'm Deebo Samuel, I'm thinking like I can't put my fortunes in the hands of Trey Lance who's inexperienced, and I don't know how he's gonna turn out, o,r and Jimmy G because even if Jimmy G comes back, chances are he's gonna leave again”Deebo Samuel had a unique 2021/2022 NFL season by wide receiver standardsDeebo Samuel did more than what's typically asked of a wide receiver. Most NFL wide receivers stretch the defense or find holes in the zone to catch passes, but teams might need them to block downfield when a running back or quarterback rushes the ball. Some wide receivers also carry the rock when certain gadget plays require an end-around or simply a sweep play to the right or left.Adam Schefter@AdamSchefterFrom Wednesday’s NFL Live: one of the central factors that could be driving Deebo Samuel’s desire to be traded away from San Francisco.1961177From Wednesday’s NFL Live: one of the central factors that could be driving Deebo Samuel’s desire to be traded away from San Francisco. https://t.co/D83XEsQx41The 49ers use Samuel in a variety of ways. Specifically, his use as a running back stood out for an offense that is not traditionally pass-heavy. Samuel has played in the NFL for three seasons, and in his first two seasons (in 22 games), he rushed the ball a total of 22 times for 185 yards and three rushing touchdowns.In the 2021/2022 regular season, Deebo Samuel rushed 59 times for 365 yards with eight rushing touchdowns. He averaged 6.2 yards per carry. Samuel added a dynamic to the 49ers’ offense, and they rode that wrinkle in the offense to the playoffs.Samuel's trade demands may stem from his high usage as a running back, which is a physically demanding role compared to other skill positions. His trade demands may also originate from being the 15th highest-paid player on the team. Indeed, uncertainty at the quarterback position may be a factor if Samuel feels like he will not be able to duplicate or exceed last season’s success.
