What Are Deebo Samuel’s Demands Of The 49er’s

Some NFL players demand trades due to wanting more money. That is apparently not the case with (for now) San Francisco 49ers star running back-wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who made such a move Wednesday.

In fact, some say the team wants to give the hybrid player a new deal, but he has cut off contact with them, making such a deed impossible

So, what’s sticking in his craw? Multiple reports say that Samuel is unhappy with his role with the team due to the increased number of hits he’s been taking.

He had 1,405 receiving yards and six touchdowns and added 365 yards and eight scores on the ground. His 1,770 scrimmage yards accounted for more than a quarter of the Niners’ total offense. With all those touches come big hits, something with which he is apparently not happy.

“Deebo Samuel wants to be a receiver and not a receiver-slash-running back,” NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero said. “His rushing attempts were significantly up last season from where they’ve been in the past. We all know that he’s a really, really physical player, but there probably are some concerns here about longevity.”

That sentiment is shared:
