Deebo Samuel-WR-South Carolina

So if the reason is because Deebo doesn't like being used as a RB, then that means he told Kyle this, and Kyle told him, "too bad, that's how you will be used".

Jarvis Landry is still a Free Agent. He's not gonna replace Deebos production but he's a damn reliable target.

He has had 2 pretty subpar years in a row. Granted, it was with Baker as his QB. But still.

Shennault on trade block, could absuty replace it, or come close.

I 100% buy what Rappaport is selling. I don't think there is any amount of money that will get him to sign here. I think we offered him top WR money, as has been reported and he is going to walk because in retrospect the hits he is taking, to be used how we use him, are going to shorten his career. The catch there is, without that dual role, I don't think he is a top 5 receiver and to make matters worse for him, sitting a year pretty much destroys your career. So he has very, very little leverage. Anyone who wants him is going to want 49ers Deebo, not borderline top 12 guy who doesn't take handoffs. So he is forcing his way off a system that made him a household name and likely offered him top dollar over not wanting to be used in a way that is exactly how his market is going to want to use him.

This! And the irony is that HE said he liked the role, supported it and wanted the ball any way he can get it. I guess only in a contract year. I was all about Deebo until his true Diva ass colors showed, ego definitely telling him he better then he is, I'd bet money he won't ever have a season like last year again, especially elsewhere. Trade his ass

If Deebo Samuel has an issue with how he was used ... 1) He and Kyle Shanahan have a good relationship and can easily work it out to satisfy both sides; 2) His WR/RB role is what makes him unique and more attractive to any team willing to trade for him and pay him big money.

This some how seems similar to the RG3 situation. They are both wanting to play a different role from what make them good. Weird

you really think you can plug in some guy and have him do what deebo did.. catch, run, violently finish runs. run out of the back field. return kicks and throw touchdown passes,. lets stop pretending like anyone can do what deebo did just because kyle can call those plays.

One risk here is he gets injured week 5 of 2022. He spends all year complaining, social media slamming the club, is genuinely upset at not getting his big payday, etc. Now we got an injured malcontent on our hands. Think of what that would do to his trade value.

Right now the trade value is sky high he balled out. What's your exit strategy if you tag you can't tag forever, eventually he walks and we're left holding a big bag of nothing.

#1 is partly why this seemingly came out of nowhere this offseason. I get the feeling that sometimes after the season was over some other 3rd party- Deebo's agent, or close friend - got in his head a little since there was zero indication Deebo had a problem of doing whatever role helped them win last year.

But yet he constantly supported Jimmy who's the biggest reason he is used as a RB.
