On Thursday, Damon Bruce of 95.7 The Game reported that the San Francisco 49ers have yet to offer a contract extension to wide receiver Deebo Samuel. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, that may be partly true. However, the NFL insider paints the picture of the 49ers not making an offer because Samuel has shut them out.
Also, a video has circulated that seems to feature Samuel saying that he doesn't have an offer from the 49ers.
"First of all, I have not corroborated that this is real," Rapoport said Friday on the Pat McAfee Show. "I believe it is. But I want to talk on the assumption that it is real, and that the people in the video are who they appear to be because otherwise, this doesn't make any sense.
"I would say that is correct that Deebo Samuel has not received an offer from the 49ers. From my understanding, he basically told them, 'I want to be traded. Don't make an offer.' ... I don't think this is [about the money].
"Now, if he had an offer in hand of $25 million a year, might it make it more difficult to have started this whole thing? Yeah. I think, had the 49ers made an offer initially, he'd have a lot more to think about. They didn't. So he does not have an offer. He told them, 'Don't make an offer. I want to be traded.' So I think all of that was accurate."
Rapoport adds that he believes Samuel is OK with not having an offer because he doesn't want to play for the 49ers anyway. ESPN reported this week that the wide receiver had requested a trade from the team that made him a second-round pick in 2019.

Ian Rapoport on how the 49ers view their Brandon Aiyuk situation

To say there was a lot of speculation surrounding San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk heading into the 2024 NFL Draft would be an understatement. Many believed a trade involving the team's leading receiver from last season might be in the works.
In the end, Aiyuk remained on the 49ers' roster once the draft concluded, indicating a likelihood of him staying with the team at least through the upcoming season. San Francisco remains committed to negotiating a long-term deal for the fifth-year wideout.
Last week, Ian Rapoport joined NFL Network and was asked for an update on the Aiyuk situation. The
Does 49ers QB Brock Purdy need Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel for success?

Rumors circulated before and during the 2024 NFL Draft about the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers losing one of their top two wide receivers—Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel. Such a scenario could have significantly impacted the team's success in the upcoming season and posed a potential blow for quarterback Brock Purdy, who has thrived alongside the dynamic duo on the field.
However, none of these speculations came to fruition. Both Aiyuk and Samuel remain on the roster, at least for another season, though their future beyond that remains uncertain.
Aiyuk is seeking a contract extension that would position him among the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL. At the same time, Samuel already commands a significant salary following a deal rework in 2022.

The San Francisco 49ers are gearing up to secure their franchise quarterback with a significant contract next year. When that happens, Brock Purdy will become one of the NFL's highest-paid players—potentially even the highest-paid.
However, sports commentator Rich Eisen predicts that Purdy's reign as the highest-paid player won't last long. When asked who will earn the highest average salary starting in 2025, Eisen explained that while Purdy might initially hold the top spot, Prescott's deal will eventually top it.
"Oh, it's going to be Dak Prescott," Eisen said. "Absolutely, it's going to be Dak Prescott. ... Purdy is going to wind up the number one paid quarterback in the NFL. And I just don't think he will be by the end of the day because Dak,
