49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel’s contract situation has been in limbo all offseason, with some uncertainty about whether he will remain in San Francisco. However, general manager John Lynch committed to Samuel being on the team in 2022.
“We haven’t traded him, and I’d be a fool to trade him, so yes, Deebo will be part of the 49ers this season,” Lynch said on Wednesday, per Adam Schefter.
Samuel initially requested a trade from the 49ers in April, and while the two sides are far apart in contract negotiations, Samuel has reportedly had issues with the way he was used in the offense last year.
