3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has officially requested a trade, but the 49ers have zero intention of trading him, according to sources. If a team were to trade for Samuel, they'd likely have to go over the top and offer something that San Francisco couldn't refuse. Samuel is entering the final year of his rookie deal and is in line for a massive contract extension, especially considering how the receiver market has blown up this offseason. If the 26-year-old does stay in San Fran, we could see him used exclusively as a pass-catcher, as apparently Samuel isn't in love with becoming a hybrid receiver and running back. He was the No. 2 fantasy WR in 2021, behind only the Rams' Cooper Kupp.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
