Love Deebo but how much of his value is based on his new found RB role? How does he stack up as a pure WR? I just don't see $25 mil there.
Deebo Samuel's 819 receiving yards & counting are the most in 49ers history in the first 7 games of a season, breaking HOF Jerry Rice's record of 781 set in 1986#49ers

Yeah dumb take. Deebo was balling all year, including the 4 game losing streak. He only took on the "RB role" due to injuries in the backfield, turned out he was pretty badass from out there too. People trying to say he's not a "Pure WR" as a reason not to pay him make themselves look really bad
