@LombardiHimself49ers have seen 2 trade requests under this regime: Robbie Gould and Raheem Mostert.Like Deebo Samuel, neither player had ultimate leverage because 49ers owned contractual rights. Both Gould and Mostert eventually retracted their trade requests and signed new agreements with SF

@MaioccoNBCSI can think of two times in recent years when players have requested the #49ers to trade them. Neither got his wish. Robbie Gould and Raheem Mostert ended up signing new contracts with the club.

@LombardiHimselfOut of the many grafs I wrote today, this one might best sum up how important Deebo Samuel is to the 49ers in the context of them potentially trading him away (the offer would have to be astronomical because of his impact!): theathletic.com/3262129/2022/0...

@Eric_Branch"Is he asking to be the highest-paid receiver? Or is he trying to crush the market like George (Kittle) did? And I wonder if thats what could be making it difficult ... If I were him, I might ask for that: I saw what you did for George. sfchronicle.com/sports/49ers/a... #49ers

@mattbarrowsYes, the 49ers have been looking at a lot of WRs amidst all the recent Deebo Samuel turmoil. But theyve been the type of players who can complement Samuel, not replace him theathletic.com/3259863/2022/0...

@MaioccoNBCSDeebo Samuels now-deleted tweet says only he, his agent and the #49ers know whats really happening. Samuel told @JeffDarlington he requested a trade. That part is not in question. The reason(s) for the request is (are) not known at this point.

@grantcohnWhen the 49ers hired Paraag Marathe in 2001, the salary cap was $67.4 million.Today, the salary cap is $208.2 million.Paraag is antiquated and obsolete. The 49ers dont need him anymore.

@nwagonerMany layers to #49ers/Deebo Samuel situation but one thing I keep coming back to: Dealing your best weapon just before handing keys to Trey Lance something you absolutely don't want to do. Maybe trade happens but would take massive offer. SF exhausts all options to keep first.
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfAnother odd component of this: 49ers have never had a problem with Deebo Samuel in the locker room. At least a semblance of such issues typically accompanies trade demands. But Samuel literally led 49ers out to Super Gremlin. Hung out with Shanahan. Just a strange devolution
-
Profile
@grantcohnI'm guessing Deebo Samuel is OK playing running back as long as the 49ers don't use it against him and try to pay him like one.
-
Profile
@LombardiHimself49ers have been willing to shell out more positional-record deals under this regime than any other team. Evidence suggests they're willing to spend on Deebo Samuel, too. None of that matters if Samuel isnt willing to engage. Personal rifts/egos can cause suboptimal dealings
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfMy piece on Deebo Samuels value to the 49ers. Draw your own conclusions, but seems that theres enough positive impact here to at least make an earnest attempt to break through whatever has caused Samuel to step away from the table: theathletic.com/3246427/2022/0...

Profile
@LombardiHimselfGiven that Deebo Samuel has endorsed a monetary demand, the key assuming 49ers arent out of patience seems to be getting him back to the negotiating table. Remember SFs offense was over 4x as efficient with Samuel on the field. Seems that personal rift is worth repairing
-
Profile
@LombardiHimselfWhere do the 49ers go from here? Key to remember that they still hold contractual leverage over Deebo Samuel, whos tied to them through 2022. Both sides can play hardball. Samuel seems more valuable to SF than anyone else especially if he wants to sub-optimize his usage

@grantcohnEver since the 49ers gave Deebo Samuel carries in Jacksvonille up four scores in the second half, I had a feeling things could get bad between them.

@grantcohnIf the 49ers trade Deebo Samuel for draft picks, they're cheap. Full stop.

Profile
@grantcohnIf Deebo Samuel refuses to play running back, I'd understand the 49ers hesitancy to extend him. But we don't know if Samuel has made any demands.

@grantcohnIf the 49ers trade Deebo Samuel, they better get an All Pro wide receiver in return.

@grantcohnI had no idea Deebo Samuel hated me enough to request a trade. Im so sorry, 49ers fans. Its all my fault.

@LombardiHimselfSo if were to take Samuels (vaguely) reported rationale for this trade demand at face value, he wants off the 49ers and onto another team that will want to use him in the same fashion?Why would any team want to pay Samuel big money and then not use him in optimal fashion?

@LombardiHimselfIf I had to guess, money is still an issue for Deebo. And maybe things got personal when he deemed the 49ers initial offer/talk to be too low. Because that $25m post happened. And theres a lot to be said about how Samuels versatility put him into position to make top dollar
