The San Francisco 49ers are leaving no doubt about where things stand with wide receiver Deebo Samuel going forward.
49ers general manager John Lynch confirmed Wednesday that the team plans to honor Samuel’s trade request. Lynch admitted that a Samuel trade “makes sense” at this point and will probably happen.
“We’re on good terms with Deebo. He’s asked for a fresh start and I think we’re going to honor that,” Lynch said. “He is a great player, one of my favorite draft picks in my time. He makes plays, and he makes game-changing plays.
“Everything’s good, but I think at some point, time happens. He asked for that. It probably makes sense, so we’re at least allowing him to look, and we’re having conversations. We’ll see where that goes.”
