“He’s too good of a player” – 49ers GM John Lynch talks about possible Deebo Samuel trade
Deebo Samuel
The San Francisco 49ers are not looking to let Deebo Samuel off the hook easily, despite the wide receiver claiming publicly that he wants a move away from the franchise in this offseason. 49ers general manager, John Lynch made it almost clear that they will do everything possible to keep him at the franchise.
Deebo Samuel has recently stripped his official Instagram account of any association with the San Francisco 49ers, a move which clearly depicted how the star receiver wants things to go.
Deebo Samuel is in the final year of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers
Being in his final year of contract, the 26-year old senses that he can get himself a much better deal from a trade given the sort of money that the wide receivers have received during this offseason.
Speaking in the pre 2022 NFL draft, John Lynch spoke of the importance Deebo Samuel carries for the franchise. He remains confident that a common ground will be found on which they can offer him a better contract and extend his stay with the 49ers.
“I can’t ever imagine wanting to move on from Deebo,” Lynch said during Monday’s pre-draft press conference, according to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner. “You put yourself through the exercises of, even though we don’t have a first-round pick, you have to be thorough in this process and prepare for everything.”
“You go through it and do that.”He’s just too good of a player … We’ve got nothing but love for him and nothing but appreciation for what he’s brought, but you just don’t let guys like that walk. So, I can’t envision a scenario where we would (trade him).”
Samuel is coming off an extremely productive season in which the 26-year-old caught 77 passes for 1,405 yards and six touchdowns as well as ran for 365 yards and eight touchdowns.
