3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel said that he has asked the team to trade him. Samuel didn't want to discuss the specific reasons behind his request, but he has indeed let the Niners know about his desire to leave the organization. The 26-year-old do-it-all receiver/running back is heading into the final year of his rookie deal and likely wants to be paid more than the 49ers are willing to offer after the receiver market blew up this offseason. He was one of the most valuable fantasy pass-catchers last year, catching 77 passes for 1,405 yards and six touchdowns while also chipping in 59 carries for 365 yards and an additional eight TDs in 16 games. Any team willing to trade for Samuel would have to give up a lot, and a move out of San Francisco probably won't negatively affect his fantasy stock much, if at all.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
