Last year, Samuel finished with 1,770 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdown, his third season in San Francisco.

Samuel is looking to leave San Francisco. He was rumored to not want to be a running back/wide receiver hybrid.

Deebo's trade request became public just after we hung up with @TomPelissero in our first hour so we had to call him back to explain what went wrong in San Francisco:#NFL #NFLDraft#FTTB pic.twitter.com/lveW0WP1fD

"It sounds like there's multiple layers to this, Rich. But certainly one of them is Deebo Samuel wants to be a receiver and not a receiver/running back. 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.

"The counterpoint to that, of course, is that part of the reason that Deebo Samuel is so valuable is because he's versatile. ... But in the big picture, it sounds like the role is part of the reason that Deebo wants to play someplace else, where he may just be able to be a true wide receiver and potentially tack on some years to his career."

Rapoport previously reported that the 49ers are interested in making Samuel one of the highest-paid receivers in the league. Rapoport said that he simply wants to play elsewhere and that it sounds like he is not comfortable with his usage.

Samuel had 173 touches last year. He had 27 rushes in the playoffs. By the end of the year, Samuel was the team's second-string running back and the team's top wide receiver.

We don't know why Samuel is looking to leave because he hasn't revealed the reason on the record. It looks like the 49ers aren't willing to trade him. The 49ers have no intention of releasing the former South Carolina star.

Samuel is eligible to become a free agent after one year on his contract.
