Though he requested a trade from the team, the 49ers shot down offers from multiple teams, ensring he would stay in San Francisco for at least another season.John Lynch has made it apparent how important Samuel is to the team and this is the first step in keeping him with the franchise long term.Samuel brought up that he doesn't like playing the hybrid running back-wide receiver role, so maybe if they shift him to a full-time receiver, he'll be happier with his role and sign a new deal.This is good news for 49ers fans, who will be hoping their team can go further than last season, where they lost a close NFC Championship game against future Super Bowl winners the Los Angeles Rams.
