San Francisco finally gets their guy back in Deebo Samuel, the superstar wideout is getting a massive payday, a 3 year $73.5 million dollar contract with $58.1 million guaranteed. It was very likely that once Seattle Seahawks wide receiver D.K Metcalf got his contract that laid out the groundwork for the 49ers and Deebo to work off of the fresh contract D.K got from Seattle.
The 49ers had to get this deal done with Deebo as he’s arguably their most valuable piece on offense and maybe the whole team. With deebo being such a phenomenal player the 49ers couldn’t give him up or even let him sit out for the season, Samuel did request a trade in the beginning of the offseason and it was looking like San Francisco was going to trade him and the niners did take calls on the superstar player but the 49ers didn’t get what they were looking for in draft compensation.
Throughout the offseason Deebo did make it known he didn’t want to play for the niners but that was just getting leverage for Deebo to make the team cave to pay him what he wanted, Deebo will now be a free agent when he’s 30 and can potentially get another massive deal.
Deebo’s contract was just a sign of what he did on the field in 2021 with him having a massive breakout year with a pro bowl selection, the fist wide receiver to have over 6 rushing and receiving touchdowns in one season, Deebo was also top 3 in the league for most total yards from scrimmage with over 1,800. The only knock on Deebo is he’s missed just under 33% of games in his short three year career.
