The San Francisco 49ers have become one of the most mysterious franchises this offseason. As far as their QB situation goes, they also have some wideout troubles in the sack; one of them being Deebo Samuel. The 49ers’ star receiver is just one of many elite wideouts due for a significant long-term deal this offseason. Now, more rumors have boiled up, and Samuel’s brother may have spilled the beans.

Deebo Samuel cleansed his Instagram profile of any “San Francisco” references, and he’s faced backlash expressing his dissatisfaction over his standing. The receiver chose not to report to Santa Clara with his teammates on Tuesday for the commencement of the summer workout. Then there have been whispers from inside Samuel’s side, yet nothing has been officially declared.
The Deebo Samuel mystery goes on
Maybe he was just joking, or maybe he was genuine. This comment on Facebook, on the other hand, may incite a ruckus amongst the San Francisco 49ers fans. Samuel’s brother, Tyquan, hinted in a recent Facebook post-interaction that an official transfer request could be in the works shortly. The entire conversation comprises a Facebook user remarking, “Trade him.”
“Don’t worry, we asking for a trade,” Tyquan Samuel responds, including two laughing-crying emojis. Moreover, Samuel’s brother also expanded on his remark with another comment, “He won’t be a 49er. (laughing-crying emoji) That’s all that matters.”

There’s no proper way to back things up over the 49ers scenario, but Tyquan did add some gasoline to the fire with his comments.
The wide receiver class trades and gains have caught fire in 2022. This offseason, Davante Adams, was the first one to find a replacement and a new agreement. Tyreek Hill subsequently moved his expertise to Miami. A.J. Brown, D.K. Metcalf and more are all awaiting contract extensions.
