GM John Lynch confirms team will honor Deebo Samuel's trade request, allowing him to explore other NFL opportunities after a tough season.

The 49ers G.M. said on Wednesday that while he doesn't want to let go of Samuel, a move makes sense for both sides.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch doesn't know when a contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy will be done but he said Wednesday that discussions toward that outcome have already begun.

The San Francisco 49ers are set to move on from star wide receiver Deebo Samuel, GM John Lynch confirmed to reporters.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch spoke Wednesday about the likely split with star wide receiver Deebo Samuel.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Texans and Washington Commanders have shown "significant interest" in trading for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel ahead of NFL free agency. Talks have reportedly been "progressing in recent days" leading up to the NFL combine.

The San Francisco 49ers and Deebo Samuel have reached the end of their road together and two teams have emerged in the sweepstakes for the receiver.

After six mostly productive years, the San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Deebo Samuel may have reached the end of the line. On Feb. 9, Samuel indicated to ESPN that he had asked the 49ers to trade him.

NFL season is one the San Francisco 49ers would like to put in their rearview. After making it to the Super Bowl during the 2023 campaign, many fans and analysts were shocked to see that the 49ers didn’t even make the playoffs this year.

Deebo Samuel’s time as a 49er is over. Nothing is official yet, but the fate is unavoidable. Before March 22 — and likely before NFL free agency opens on March 12 — the Niners will cut Samuel with a post-June 1 designation. The deal will save the Niners a few more bucks compared to a more traditional cut.
