Deebo Samuel would love to get a contract extension and the team would love to get it done as well so both sides could be happy.
Most fans want to see the dynamic playmaker remain in the Bay Area, but a lot of them are going about it the wrong way. Samuel took to Instagram live and said he has received death threats and racist remarks from the fans who once cheered for him.
“It don’t bother me,” Samuel said via Instagram Live (h/t TheSFNiners). “It don’t. You all were the same ones that was just hoorahing and [yelling] ‘Go Deebo.’ Now you all want to send death threats and send all these racial — all the stuff that I got. It don’t bother me. I’m cool. I’m chillin’. I’m happy.”
Samuel recently scrubbed his Instagram account of all things 49ers-related, which has turned into a negotiating tactic for players over the years.
Samuel is entering his fourth NFL season. He amassed 1,770 total yards and 14 total touchdowns for the 49ers in 2021, setting an NFL record for the most rushing touchdowns in a single season by a wide receiver with eight.
