In a since-deleted post on his Instagram story, 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel refuted ESPN’s Adam Schefter’s report that location is one of the reasons why he requested a trade. On Thursday morning, Schefter reported as to why Samuel wants out of San Francisco while on NFL Live.
“My understanding is, and we’d have to hear from Deebo himself, I’m sure there are a multitude of factors as to why he would like to be traded, but I think one of them is the fact that he simply prefers to be closer to home, South Carolina, not out West in California,” Schefter said.
