San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel has requested a trade, and the organization is expected to grant that request, he told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Sunday.
“It was a hard conversation to have with Kyle (Shanahan) because of the relationship that we have,” Samuel said. “But I have to do what’s best. I’m more than thankful for the Niners giving me the opportunity of a lifetime, but now I think it’s best that we find another team.”

Samuel requested a trade during the team’s exit meetings, and the 49ers will work with his agent, Tory Dandy, to find the wide receiver a new team for the 2025 season.
