SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- For the second time in three years, wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. has requested that the San Francisco 49ers trade him. This time, the 49ers are willing to accommodate such a move.
Samuel told ESPN on Sunday that the Niners granted he and agent Tory Dandy permission to find a trade partner after Samuel first expressed his desire to move on at his exit meeting with coach Kyle Shanahan in January.
"It was a hard conversation to have with Kyle because of the relationship that we have," Samuel told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
