NFL.com reported that Deebo was unhappy with his role in the 49ers Offense.

If you think about it, playing at RB has a much higher probability that you have a shortened career. It's in my opinion the most physically demanding position.

Deebo is trying protecting his future here and wanting to play WR alone.

They referenced that NFL.com report on NFL Radio today when they said that he has said on several occasions that he "embraced the role" of WR/RB while even calling it "Wide Back".

San Francisco 49ers' Deebo Samuel created his own position: 'Wide back'

That's where I heard he had no issue playing the hybrid position, but had an issue with the lessor pay related to it once contracts talks began.

The mega-deal Christian Kirk received this off-season ignited everything at the WR spot.

Not buying what NFL.com is reporting...

What player wouldn't want an OC trying to find ways to put the ball in his hands?

Now, Deebo may want a different passer, but doesn't want to burn bridges with current teammates...

Or there could be an issue that in the passing progression he may be behind TE George Kittle...

Granted, his stats jumped in 2021 to 59 RuAtt, but he scored 8 RuTDs with 365 RuYds; most WRs don't have 8 ReTDs on a season...

My money is it's either posturing for bigger paycheck...

Aren't they all posturing for $?



Maybe the fans should posture similarly ?!?

Blame the Kirk deal
