The Facts: The 49ers and Samuel are currently at an impasse. Samuel wants out. San Francisco has every intention of keeping him. While the 49ers don’t want to part with a key offensive player, another factor is in San Francisco’s view, there hasn’t been a trade offer worth entertaining. At his joint press conference with G.M. John Lynch following the conclusion of the draft’s third round, HC Kyle Shanahan admitted he was surprised and a little disappointed by Samuel’s trade request. But Shanahan added it’s a part of the business. “You’ll consider anything. You have a responsibility to help your organization the most you can,” Shanahan said. “But losing a player like Deebo, it’s hard to see how that helps your organization.”

Diehards Line: Shanahan said he hasn’t talked with Samuel in a couple of weeks, but still feels like the receiver and the organization can work things out. Beyond that, Shanahan declined to go into the details of why Samuel made his request or the specific issues the wideout has with the franchise. "There’s lots of things that play into it,” Shanahan said. “I would love to share it all with everybody so people could understand more, but that’s really not right to Deebo, it’s not right to the 49ers. Hopefully, we can work this out and someday it’ll clear up for you guys.” So at least for now, Samuel is still with San Francisco. Whether both sides will eventually be able to come up with a win-win remains to be seen.
