Deebo Samuel distanced himself from the San Francisco 49ers on social media.
The 2021 All-Pro unfollowed the team on Instagram and scrubbed a number of posts from his account:

While this could amount to nothing, some were quick to dismiss a similar tactic by Arizona Cardinals star Kyler Murray, which preceded wider drama between him and the team.
