49ers Star Deebo Samuel Reacts to Outlandish $527 Million Contract News on Twitter

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel is one of the top wide receivers in the NFL, and keeping him will be one of the agendas. The franchise will be desperate to keep a player who broke out as a star, and he is due for a new and lucrative contract. The contract will be extraordinary for the amount of quality that Samuel brings to the 49ers in their offense.

Samuel did have one of the amazing seasons from the wide receiver position while being versatile and playing the running back position for tactical reasons. He recorded 1,405 receiving yards and 365 rushing yards while converting for 14 total touchdowns. The position wide-back is something that Samuel first made famous in the NFL and only appreciates his value to the team.

Even Deebo found the funny side of Twitter posts that discussed ridiculous figures about his potential contract. It’s the astronomical figure of $567 million for only a 4-year contract that seems to invoke this kind of response. The suggested amount even exceeds the 10-year contract that the super bowl winning Chiefs’ QB Patrick Mahomes has signed, $450 million.

Samuel plays in one of the most important positions in football, and any new contract could make him one of the highest-paid athletes in his position. Any potential deal could be around $22-$23 million in salary and one of the most extraordinary contracts in the NFL.

Doesn’t Samuel’s reported contract figures appear quite low in comparison to Niners Nation’s Tweet?

The Deebo Samuel effect

The Niners WR is one of the true leaders in the dressing room, and head coach Kyle Shanahan will be looking for positives from 2021. The last season did show that they can be a dangerous opponent and were only bested by the eventual Super Bowl champions, the Los Angeles Rams. In a career filled with injuries, his stunning season as a wide back earned his NFL All-Pro team honors.

While playing him in the wide back was a great call last season, Deebo is prone to injuries in his newfound role. The 49ers fans will be hoping that he stays healthy for a long time and be influential in winning football games.

Despite his impressive physique, soft tissue injuries and bumps and bruises were naturally happening last season.

It seems that the 49ers will actively look to sign him up and take every opportunity he steps on the field for the count. The running game was a feature of their game with QB Jimmy Garoppolo, but things may change with young rookie QB Trey Lance. The development of Elijah Mitchell last season serves to benefit Samuel and his future with the team, which most possibly seems at staying in San Francisco.
