Matt Maiocco highlights that something seemed off about San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel's demeanor this past season.

The 49ers have given wide receiver Deebo Samuel permission to talk to teams that might be interested in trading for him this offseason and that is likely the first step toward Samuel's departure after six seasons with the team.

George Kittle appeared on USA Today’s Sports Seriously and said this about the former South Carolina receiver: “You can’t really replace Deebo. I think he’s one of the most unique players in the NFL because of what he can do.

The San Francisco 49ers will eventually deal away disgruntled star Deebo Samuel once the offseason gains steam. The wide receiver has struggled to recapture his 2021 All-Pro form, plus has shared transparent talks with the Niners about parting ways.

While Deebo Samuel’s future with the 49ers remains uncertain, Kittle's remarks highlight both the challenge of moving forward without him and the optimism surrounding the team’s offensive weapons heading into the 2025 season.

Deebo Samuel requested to leave the San Francisco 49ers, and his teammate, George Kittle, knows it will be a significant loss for the upcoming season. The upcoming season for the San Francisco 49ers will definitely not be like the previous ones.
