Deebo has spoken.
The wide receiver broke his silence on Wednesday, hours after a report from ESPN’s Jeff Darlington that stated Deebo Samuel had requested a trade from the 49ers and was not interested in negotiating a deal. Darlington said he spoke to Samuel on the phone.
“Reporters jobs is to make stories only people know the truth about situation is 49ers @ToryDandy and deebo Samuel,” Samuel wrote on Twitter.
The message is a little strange, considering Samuel told a reporter that he’s requesting a trade.
Perhaps Samuel is upset with the subsequent reports that he wants to leave the 49ers because of the way they have used him as a running back. According to Ian Rapoport, money is not the primary issue.
Will they actually trade him or will cooler heads prevail? We’ll just have to wait and see.
