What could be holding up a new deal for Deebo Samuel? (1:15)

According to reports, Deebo Samuel is looking for a new deal with the 49ers. 1:45

Samuel told Jeff that he asked the 49ers to trade him.

Samuel didn't want to talk about specific reasons for his request.

Samuel, who was a second-round pick by the 49ers in 2019, is entering the final year of his rookies contract and is in line for an extension. According to sources, Samuel was not expected to participate in any on-field work during the 49ers voluntary offseason program.

The receiver contract market has been hot this season with the Las Vegas Raiders and the Miami Dolphins each signing record-setting deals one week apart from each other.

Samuel helped San Francisco reach the playoffs last season and is coming off a breakthrough season. He finished fifth in the league in receiving yards and sixth in touchdown catches.
