Deebo Samuel rips people talking on 'situation they know nothing about'
The offseason saga between the San Francisco 49ers and Deebo Samuel took another turn on Wednesday when the All-Pro wide receiver took to social media to address -- albeit in a very vague manner -- reports that he has requested a trade for the team.
Well, at least it looks like he's suggesting people reporting on the trade request don't know what they're talking about.
It was reported that Samuel, who played a huge role in the Niners' success last season, rather suddenly requested a trade from the team because he is unhappy with how he is being used in the offense. (San Francisco used Samuel as both a receiver and a running back last season.)
Niners general manager John Lynch offered up an equally veiled response to the situation earlier in the week, simply saying the organization will rectify "whatever is going on."
Samuel, 26, recorded 1,405 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions last season while leading the NFL with an 18.2-yards-per-catch average. He additionally ran for eight touchdowns.
