No clauses in contract regarding Deebo Samuel wide back usage. That never even came up, Kyle Shanahan said (social media rumors)

Like I said.

I guarantee we see WB Deebo this season during a crucial moment. It's too good to not use.

Wonder where those reporters who said "Deebo is upset about his usage" or the "He refuses to play or talk to the 49ers" are at.
probably caught some of the zone's troll posts on a slow day

I don't think he has ever had a problem with it. You watch his interviews from last season when he talked about being used as a running back and his face would always light up when talking about it. That being said, I don't think using him so much as RB is the long-term plan. I think He was only used like that as much as he was out of a necessity rather than that being his ideal use in this offense.
Playmakers want the ball in their hand as much as possible. This was never a usage issue.
to be fair let's not act like Deebo's agent couldn't have lied and leaked that Deebo was unhappy about being used as a RB purely for negotiating tactics.

That's what people have been saying this entire time. But there were people saying "well he wants to have a longer career so maybe he doesn't want to run the ball"

this idiot is probably upset.

Bunch of dramatic girls imo.

Plenty of receipts in this thread of those overreacting grown ass men crying over deleted pictures

For real lol.

Just yrs. SF loves 5yr extensions and Deebo being an older player coming out of college wanted a shorter deal to get that 3rd contract. 4 yrs total is perfect imo. Won't be shocked if there's a void yr in there to spread out some cash

So is he refusing to be a wide back or not? I guess we'll have to wait and see?

I think he'll continue to do end arounds, but the wide back, I think is over for now.

I dunno. Deebo likes to win. I think Deebo would play Left Tackle if it would guarantee the 49ers a super bowl win.

He shouldn't be running up the middle tho. If it's do or die, playoffs/SB fine and I'm sure he'll be ok. Not some random wk 3 bs. We got plenty of backs to run up the middle with

I hadn't thought about length being a sticking point.

Agreed.

I'd still prefer to see him used solely as a receiver and save those jet sweeps for when they're needed most. Hopefully the run game is clicking on all cylinders this season so we won't see Deebo used in that capacity as much.
so never trust rumors lol
