Kyle Shanahan told the media Monday morning that Deebo Samuel signed his contract, and the only thing left is for it to be turned into the league.
Unsurprisingly, Shanahan seemed like a happy camper. “Pumped they got it done.” “My favorite thing about Deebo is how he inspires people. And I think that’s why this country loves Deebo.”
A critical part of Samuel’s contract details is that there are no “restrictions and limitations” on how Deebo is used. I imagine injury guarantees are worked into the deal, which should limit the 49ers from giving Samuel a heavy dosage of carries.
