Samuel is back in the Bay Area, which could be viewed as a positive when it comes to the 49ers reconciling their relationship with the star player and locking him into a long-term deal. Players report to Santa Clara for training camp in a week, and it would be ideal to complete a deal before then.
TheSFNiners shared the following Instagram video of Samuel working with his trainer, who says the wide receiver is "about to get paid." 49ers fans hope so. That would end one of the team's biggest offseason storylines.
Samuel's teammate, linebacker Fred Warner, recently expressed confidence that a deal would get done soon.
"I know there's a lot of time left, and the thing I can say about Deebo is he's an amazing player, as well as a teammate," Warner said on the Rich Eisen Show. "That's my guy, so I know he'll get whatever he deserves. And I know, in good time, things will work themselves out."
Samuel had a breakout season in 2021, recording 1,770 all-purpose yards and 14 total touchdowns. The 49ers made him a second-round pick in 2019.
