A lot of ink has been spilled and a lot of conversations have been had about Deebo Samuel ever since reports of his trade request hit the wire. But there’s one notable person who hasn’t spoken out about Deebo Samuel: Deebo Samuel himself.
Taking to Twitter, Samuel addressed the rumors that he’s asked for a trade. Samuel stated that only he, the 49ers and his agent (Tory Dandy), know the truth.
“Reporters jobs is to make stories,” Samuel tweeted. “only people know the truth about situation is 49ers, @ToryDandy and deebo Samuel.”
That neither confirms nor denies the report from NFL insiders that came out this morning. And that’s probably exactly how Samuel wants it.
He can potentially leverage his position to get a contract extension from San Francisco, or to get other teams to make bigger offers.
Reporters jobs is to make stories only people know the truth about situation is 49ers @ToryDandy and deebo Samuel 🙏🏾.

The 26-year-old wide receiver is coming off his third NFL season, but it was a breakout season of epic proportions.
Samuel had over 1,700 yards from scrimmage and 14 touchdowns while leading the league in yards per catch, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors as a wide receiver.
But Samuel also demonstrated superb skill as a runner, averaging 6.2 yards per carry. He’s now considered one of the NFL’s premier offensive weapons, which is why so many teams reportedly want him.
Will Deebo Samuel wind up being traded, or will he stay in San Francisco?
