There are some tough decisions coming up for the San Francisco 49ers as they gear up to have a top-of-market quarterback contract on their books. One of those tough decisions could involve wide receiver Deebo Samuel,

San Francisco once secured him with a three-year, $71.5 million deal on the eve of July 2022 training camp. The 49ers shut down the trade chatter then by offering Samuel a massive amount of cash. That blockbuster contract additionally came as a reward for Samuel's explosive '21 season.

This might not be the news you want to here. Despite coming off the worst season of his career, the 49ers intend to bring Deebo Samuel back to the team in 2025.

GM John Lynch told reporters on Wednesday that he expects WR Deebo Samuel to be back with the team in 2025. “Deebo’s under contract… Yep, good player and he’s done a ton for this organization.

While John Lynch confirmed one veteran will be allowed to hit the open market this offseason with Javon Hargrave set to be released, the San Francisco 49ers general manager has no such plans to facilitate an exit for Deebo Samuel.
