SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For the past few months, the San Francisco 49ers have repeatedly said they'd like to keep wide receiver Deebo Samuel for a long time. On Wednesday, it became clear that Samuel and the Niners don't quite see things the same way.

Samuel, who is entering the final year of his rookie contract, told ESPN's Jeff Darlington that he has asked the 49ers to trade him. Samuel declined to offer specific reasons for requesting the trade but acknowledged that he has informed the team of his desire to leave.

That comes on the heels of what has become an increasingly turbulent relationship between the two sides following Samuel's breakout 2021 season. In recent weeks, Samuel has scrubbed any mention of the 49ers from his Instagram account, unfollowed the team and removed most photos of him in the team's uniform from the platform.

Samuel's trade request comes at a time when the salaries for wide receivers have skyrocketed. The Las Vegas Raiders gave Davante Adams $28.5 million per season on an extension after trading for him, and the Miami Dolphins rewarded Tyreek Hill with a contract averaging $30 million per season one week later after acquiring him from the Kansas City Chiefs. Buffalo's Stefon Diggs also received a lucrative contract extension recently.

According to the link, "Samuel's agent is Tory Dandy, who also represents Tennessee's A.J. Brown and Seattle's DK Metcalf, two of the other wideouts who are set for paydays."

Dandy is stirring the shit and Samuels is listening. They know the 49ers have cap problems. Kyle Shanahan changed the offense, made Samuels a star, and now he wants to cash-in elsewhere. Well, screw him. Do it, and get back a first round draft pick.
