Just when you thought the NFL offseason had calmed down, more drama has been created at the expense of the San Francisco 49ers. Star wide receiver Deebo Samuel has been the subject of many rumors as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.
According to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, Samuel has officially requested to be traded away from the 49ers.
The 49ers want to pay him, but the WR seems dead set on making his way out. The situation seems similar to Davante Adams, who had a big offer from the Green Bay Packers but wanted to get traded to the Las Vegas Raiders.
Speaking of the Raiders….
Derek Carr may be looking to get his team in on the sweepstakes for Samuel as he reacted to the news on Twitter.

The nightmare scenario for the Raiders is that Samuel gets traded to the Kansas City Chiefs after they traded away Tyreek Hill this offseason. The AFC West is an arms race with teams loading up on talent to come out on top.
Samuel split time at wide receiver and running back which led to him accumulating 1,770 total yards. He’s one of the best playmakers in the league and should have a robust market.
