NFL fans took a break from their Super Bowl LIX preparations on Sunday to discuss the fate of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel.
Samuel informed ESPN's Adam Schefter on Sunday that the 49ers granted him and agent Tory Dandy permission to seek a trade this offseason.
After requesting a trade during the Niners' season-ending exit meetings, Samuel told Schefter:
"It was a hard conversation to have with [head coach] Kyle [Shanahan] because of the relationship that we have. 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.
