49ers in Five: Tim Kawakami lays out doomsday scenario for Deebo Samuel

Everything you need to know in about five minutes

What if this entire Deebo Samuel situation could be put to bed in less than two weeks? In his latest piece in The Athletic, Tim Kawakami lays out the worst-case scenario for the rest of the 49ers’ offseason and identifies a critical date when it comes to Deebo Samuel:

Here’s my conclusion: If the 49ers aren’t prepared to eventually pay Deebo at or near the top of the WR market, I believe he’ll be traded before April 28, the first round of the draft, for a package that would include a first-round pick in this draft that the 49ers would immediately use on a WR.
