Deebo caused a stir after the season when he wore an A.J. Brown Philadelphia Eagles jersey during Super Bowl week, and shortly after that he demanded a trade from the team he’s been with for six season since being drafted in the second round from the South Carolina Gamecocks.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano presented in a column the question of what happens if the 49ers can’t trade Samuel. He detailed the timeline and why the best course of action may be a release of the 2019 second-round pick.

The 49ers have given wide receiver Deebo Samuel permission to seek a trade, and some teams are exploring the possibility.
