Times have changed. In 2022, both the player and the team can get their message across via social media. Why? Because they know everyone will react one way or another.

Listen, San Francisco wants to pay Deebo Samuel. But Deebo Samuel was the one who scrubbed the 49ers off his social media page. Deebo Samuel was the one who made it known that he was the one who wanted to move on.
San Francisco would pay Deebo Samuel today, tomorrow, the next day.
