One day after his trade request became public, Deebo Samuel said the Broncos are ‘a couple more pieces’ away from being special in 2025.

Samuel was a second-round pick by the 49ers in the 2019 draft. In 81 games across six seasons he hauled in 334 receptions for 4,792 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also churned out 1,143 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns on 202 carries.

One tricky factor in Samuel’s contract is a $15 million bonus due on March 22nd. If the 49ers want to save the most money while getting a 2025 NFL Draft pick, the move should happen after the new league year begins.
