San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner is confident that teammate and star wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who has requested a trade, will instead stick around and sign a new contract.
Warner made his remarks to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero in a Twitter Spaces (h/t Nick Shook of NFL.com) when asked if he was confident Samuel would be playing for San Francisco in Week 1 this year:
"Here's what I'm going to say about that. I know you're going to stir it up, Tom ... so listen, I know that this team knows its value in Deebo Samuel.
