The 49ers must decide what to do with Deebo Samuel. He's entering a contract season next year and he's rapidly declining. They could try to trade him, although the market for him might not exist anymore.
He's entering a contract season next year and he's rapidly declining. They could try to trade him, although the market for him might not exist anymore. They could release him, but that would cost them tons of dead cap money. Or they could extend his contract and make him a Niner for life."They've got a pretty expensive roster," Pelissero said. "They've got about six or seven guys who are all due at least $15 million in cash in 2025.
"But he's in a contract year, he's making about half the money of what the top of the wide receiver market is at this point, can they get another big wide receiver deal done, or potentially could Samuel be on the move. If Brandon Aiyuk hadn't gotten hurt, we would have real conversations about whether they would answer calls if somebody wanted to trade for him.
