The future of Deebo Samuel has been uncertain throughout the offseason. Earlier, he had demanded a trade from the San Francisco 49ers. It was mainly due to the fact that he wanted to play as a traditional WR and not a dual-threat.
Many teams are already interested in bringing Deebo to their team, as they know what he brings to the table. Wherever he goes, rumors go with him. Recently he was in San Francisco, and people thought he might be signing a deal with the 49ers. However, it wasn’t the case.

Deebo recently posted an IG story where he was at San Jose Airport. Deebo talked about people who take pics of him without his consent and claimed that he notices everyone. He said, “People on the Airport Be So Weird.”

Deebo further talked about how the people circulate his pics to media outlets to create narratives around his future in the league. He said, “They be so quick to send it to whoever and whoever is sneaking posts. Like, yes I’m at San Jose Airport, What’s next?”
The 49ers WR gave his views on this issue because he seemed upset regarding the matter. When a player of his caliber asks to get traded, media outlets tend to jump on the player and follow his every move. Likewise, the same thing is happening with Deebo.
How will the 49ers look without Deebo Samuel?
The San Francisco 49ers went to the NFC Championship Game last season. They were knocked out of the game by the eventual champs, but they somehow exceeded the expectations. Jimmy Garoppolo was the quarterback of the 49ers last year, but that might not be the case in the upcoming season.

Trey Lance is likely to be the 49ers starting quarterback this season. He would probably have the keys to lead the franchise. His task will become difficult if Deebo actually departs from the team.
It will be fair to say that the 49ers’ were built around Deebo Samuel. He was their primary WR and could carry the ball as well. Deebo was arguably better than many running backs in the league.

His departure will surely have a knock-off effect on the franchise. If the 49ers get back some valuable assets for Deebo, that might change everything. The 49ers are unlikely to contend for a Super Bowl this season, but if they are able to get some good draft picks for Deebo, then their future can certainly be very bright.
