Deebo Samuel: 'Nothing but love' for 49ers after trade
March 4 - Deebo Samuel, dealt by the San Francisco 49ers to the Washington Commanders over the weekend, took to social media on Monday to clarify his feelings about his now former team and his conditioning in 2024.
Following a disappointing 2024 season, the veteran wide receiver requested a trade, and the 49ers eventually obliged.
He posted Monday on X, "49ers know where I stand with them and it's nothing but love. Love John (Lynch, the general manager) and Kyle (Shanahan, the head coach) to death no bad blood no way shape or form. They know I'm more than appreciative of everything they done for me as a player and a man nothing but love."
Samuel also responded to a quote from The Athletic's Tim Barrows speaking on The TK Show podcast. Barrows said, "(Samuel's weight in 2024) got really high and there may have been reasons for that. Not able to work out because of pneumonia. Not able to work out because of injuries. But that's a concern. I think the 49ers had that concern the minute he showed up in Santa Clara in 2019 and it never fully went away."
Samuel, whose listed playing weight is 215 pounds, posted in response on X, "225 to be exact. ... Can't wait till this season start. Fresh start new Bo"
Last season, Samuel finished with 51 catches for 670 yards and three touchdowns in addition to 42 carries for 136 yards and one score. The total yardage was the lowest figure of his career, outside of the 2020 campaign when he appeared in only seven games.
Samuel, 27, was a first-team All-Pro in 2021, when he had 1,770 total yards and 14 total touchdowns.
In 81 career NFL games (73 starts), all for the 49ers, Samuel has 334 receptions for 4,792 yards and 22 touchdowns. He has produced 1,143 yards and 20 TDs on 202 carries.
Washington dealt a fifth-round draft pick to San Francisco in exchange for Samuel.

The Northern-Irishman is under contract at the Ibrox club until 2027, but could be leaving his boyhood club as soon as this summer. Sky Sports are reporting that OH Leuven of Belgium are reportedly keen on the winger, as well as FC Basel of Switzerland and FC Cincinnati in the MLS all chasing McCausland's permanent signature. New boss Russell Martin was announced this week, as he appeared to beat Davide Ancelotti to the Ibrox hot seat. It is clear the former Southampton boss has a busy summer ahead of him as he looks to build his squad for the upcoming campaign. Interest has been building in midfield pair Mohamed Diomande and Nicolas Raskin, but the new boss has made his stance clear. In his Ibrox unveiling he said, simply: "We have to try and keep our best players." Nicolas Raskin played all 90-minutes for Belgium against North Macedonia at the weekend, with the game finishing 1-1. His former boss, and fellow countryman, Philippe Clement has tipped the midfielder to go onto big things. Clement said: "I think he's ready. I'm convinced Nico would fit perfectly in the Premier League. Rangers fans react as 49ers takeover completed "I'm not saying he would be in a top six team now. But just below that, so he can calmly adapt to the level." Rangers are also looking to strengthen their squad, with the rumour mill already swirling on that front too. It is reported that the Gers are looking to swoop in for England international, Conor Coady to shore up the back line, with Robin Propper set to return to his homeland. Israeli forward Dor Turgeman is also linked with the Ibrox side, with the 21-year-old impressing with 20 goals for Maccabi Tel Aviv this season.
