Like Deebo, I absolutely refuse to be a Niner''s running back.

49ers in Jeopardy of Losing 7-Time Pro Bowler This Offseason: Report

The San Francisco 49ers may have their focus on the 2022 NFL draft, but there's a looming decision that the Niners organization will have to account for.

The San Francisco 49ers may have their focus on the 2022 NFL draft, but there’s a looming decision that the Niners organization will have to account for.

This time of the NFL offseason is all about a team’s new faces, and the draft will bring a whole new crop of players to Santa Clara, California. However, San Francisco may have to address a new positional area after a recent report from San Francisco Chronicle reporter Eric Branch.


Branch revealed on April 19 that starting center Alex Mack is still considering retiring before the 2022 season. Mack is 36-years-old and just completed his 13th season in the league, and his first season as a 49er after following head coach Kyle Shanahan to California.

“Nine days before the NFL draft, #49ers center Alex Mack, 36, is still mulling retirement, a source told the @sfchronicle,” Branch Tweetedon Tuesday.

Mack is a relatively new member of the 49ers, but the longtime veteran and seven-time Pro Bowl center’s presence is one San Francisco would love to have. Shanahan already lost longtime starting guard Laken Tomlinson, and keeping the offensive line up to par and intact is critical.

This shit just gets better and better.

Deebo Samuel trade rumors: Here's the main reason why the 49ers star wants out of San Francisco, per report

Deebo Samuel trade rumors: Here's the main reason why the 49ers star wants out of San Francisco, per report​

When 49ers star Deebo Samuel made his trade demand on Wednesday, he didn't offer any specific reason for wanting out of San Francisco. In most situations like this, a player makes a trade demand because he's unhappy with his contract, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

As a matter of fact, ESPN.com reported on Wednesday that the 49ers WANT to pay Samuel, but it's not happening because he's cut off all contract talks with the team.

So why did Samuel make the trade demand? According to multiple reports, it's because he doesn't like the way he's being used in the 49ers offense. During the 2021 season, Samuel had a historical year while playing both wide receiver and running back. Not only did the Pro Bowler haul in 1,405 yards and six touchdowns through the air, but he also added 365 yards and eight touchdowns on the ground. Thanks to those numbers, Samuel became just the third player in the NFL history to finish a season with at least 1,000 receiving yards along with at least five receiving touchdowns and five rushing touchdowns. With 1,770 scrimmage yards, Samuel accounted for 28% of the 49ers' offensive total, which was the fourth-highest percentage by any player in the NFL.

Despite those historical numbers, it seems that Samuel isn't thrilled with the amount of hits he's been taking as a utility player. According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, Samuel isn't "comfortable" with the way the 49ers are using him.

"There are some questions and some frustrations from his standpoint about this usage," Rapoport said Wednesday on NFL Network. "He takes a lot of hits, used like a running back, put all over the field and it just does not sound like he's comfortable with the way he's being used."

Samuel's usage at running back went into overdrive starting in Week 10 when he had five carries for 36 yards and a touchdown in a 31-10 win over the Rams. Over the final 11 games of the season, including the playoffs, Samuel lined up in the backfield for just over 21% of San Francisco's offensive snaps, according to NFL.com. To put that into perspective, Samuel had only lined up at running back for 2.1% of the offensive snaps in his career before Week 10 of the 2021 season.

With Samuel spending so much time at running back, his receiving production fell off over the final 11 games of the season. Samuel caught five or more passes in seven of San Francisco's first eight games in 2021. However, in the final eight games he played in last year, including the playoffs, Samuel only caught five or more passes in two of them.

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media has reported that Samuel's preference is to dump his running back role so he can focus on just being a receiver.

"Deebo Samuel wants to be a receiver and not a receiver-slash-running back," Pelissero said in an interview with Rich Eisen. "His rushing attempts were significantly up last season from where they've been in the past. We all know that he's a really, really physical player, but there probably are some concerns here about longevity."

Former NFL player Su'a Cravens made the same point about longevity in a tweet about Samuels and the point is that the 49ers star isn't going to last much longer in the NFL if he keeps taking a beating at two positions. "There are some questions and some frustrations from his standpoint about this usage," Rapoport said Wednesday on NFL Network. "He takes a lot of hits, used like a running back, put all over the field and it just does not sound like he's comfortable with the way he's being used."

Basically, it seems like Samuel wants to cut down on the amount of hits he's taking.

Samuel's usage probably isn't the only reason he wants out of San Francisco, but at this point, it does seem to be the main one. Pro Football talk has also speculated that it's possible that Samuel just wants to be closer to home. The 26-year-old went to high school and college in South Carolina.

Whatever the reason is, the 49ers star hasn't felt the need to reveal it just yet. Samuel has kept pretty quiet since his trade demands went public on Wednesday, but he did do two notable things on Twitter over the past 24 hours.

I wonder if teams view him more than a $15m player if he only wants to be a wr?

He only made a name for himself once he started rb duties.

Troy Reeder made him a superstar.

That comment about Troy Reeder is the most accurate remark regarding Deebo Samuel. And Nick Scott probably made him reconsider his future.

Nick Scott probably made him reconsider his future.

How true.

Amazingly enough Deebo had 1 yard on 1 carry in two games vs Seattle and Wagner. Does the fact he only had 1 attempt have something to do with who was at MLB?

 

[GroundPounder]

Maybe....but doubtful....probably because he had his success elsewhere with 8 catches for 156 yards and 2 TDs. Seems like others were getting it done in the run game with 29 carries for 143 yards, averaging almost 5 yards a carry. Wagner must have had a bad day.

 

[Neil039]

I’d trade him to a bottom team for a high pick. It’ll crush his career. Then he can ponder his decision making watching the playoffs.

[RamBall]

Nick Scott and AD have killed the division. AD ran off wussel Wilson and Deebo does not want to face Scott twice a yr. And Murray totally folded in his last 2 games against the Rams D.

 

[CGI_Ram]

The 49’ers…

Garappolo now Deebo. What do they do?

Trey Lance sounds shaky…



Its GOT to suck to be a 49’er fan right now.

 

[Allen2McVay]

The 49’ers…

Garappolo now Deebo. What do they do?

Trade Nick Bosa to the Rams for a future late-round-pick.

It’s their only move.

So he wants out of Cali

[LARAMSinFeb.]

Nick Scott's the one who should be asking for more $$$.

Remember he laid out AJ Green and separated him from the ball with a nearly identical hit?

 

[HX76]

Let’s hope he fucks off to the AFC and takes his shitty boom box with him.

 

[majrleaged]

The player he is, is because the niners played him like they did. If I am a team looking to spend some money on a receiver, it won't be top dollar on a player that doesn't want to do what makes him great. What sets him apart.

 

[payote75]

People on Twitter are crazy I get excited to when anyone I'd want on the rams becomes available but if people really think the rams have a chance in hell of getting deeblo they drinking way too much Koolaid.

Better chance being struck by lightning 25 times!!!
