Deebo Samuel Disputes Reports That He Was Unhappy With 49ers Role

Two days after Deebo Samuel secured his three-year, $73.5 million contract extension, the 49ers wide receiver denied claims that his request for a trade from the franchise in April was based on how San Francisco used him as a running back and wide receiver in the offense.

Samuels told reporters on Tuesday that the claim involving him not liking his previous role in the 49ers’ offense was “false” and that there were a lot of things he was not allowed to discuss.

“I mean, you can turn on the tape, go back to the Cowboys game,” Samuel said per 95.
