BREAKING: Deebo Samuel Finally Posts Heartfelt Message for 49ers After Trade to Commanders
The San Francisco 49ers traded star wide receiver Deebo Samuel to the Washington Commanders on Saturday, receiving a fifth-round pick in return.
Following the trade, Samuel shared a farewell video, but on Monday, he posted a more personal message on X (formerly Twitter), expressing gratitude to the 49ers organization. He specifically acknowledged general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan, thanking them for their support during his time with the team.
“49ers know where I stand with them and it’s nothing but love,” Samuel wrote. “Love John and Kyle 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 had requested a trade, and the 49ers allowed him to explore options, leading to his move to Washington.
A second-round pick in 2019, Samuel spent his entire NFL career with San Francisco before the trade. He delivered an All-Pro season in 2021, totaling a career-high 1,770 yards and 14 touchdowns on 136 touches. Last season, he recorded 51 receptions for 670 yards and three touchdowns.
