George Kittle expects Deebo Samuel contract news soon

The continue to-unsure circumstance involving quarterbacks Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance has dominated headlines pertaining to the San Francisco 49ers during the offseason but isn’t the only likely distraction the workforce has experienced to offer with due to the fact the loss to the Los Angeles Rams in January’s NFC Championship Sport. 

Dual-menace talent and All-Professional choice Deebo Samuel remains hooked up to the 49ers through the last season of his rookie deal and attended the club’s necessary minicamp moved up by a week irrespective of his trade ask for produced before this year’s NFL Draft. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero documented earlier this thirty day period that “the scales are tipping towards Deebo remaining a lot more most likely to be in San Francisco at the very least for 2022,” and it appears All-Pro restricted finish George Kittle agrees with that evaluation. 

“What is gonna happen, and this is me not realizing anything at all, Deebo’s obtained a different calendar year on his deal remaining no matter, appropriate? Assuming he’s not likely to sit out, that’s a great deal of dollars, so he’s either likely to enjoy this yr as a Niner with a person year left on his offer or he’s likely to get a contract extension,” Kittle discussed all through an overall look on the “Bussin’ with the Boys” podcast, per Logan Mullen of Audacy. 

“At this position, you cannot even trade him. What are you heading to do, trade him for a initially-round decide in up coming year’s draft? That does not support us this yr. Like c’mon, you simply cannot trade for long term picks, not ideal now, so that window is kind of closed. A little something ridiculous could come about, I could be consuming my terms in two months, but the Niners have finished every single key deal — mine, Fred Warner’s — the 7 days in advance of the year started. So, my guess is in three months we’ll hear information of it, but I have no concept.” 

Samuel undeniably was San Francisco’s offensive Most Useful Player final time who concluded the marketing campaign with 1,405 getting yards, 365 hurrying yards and 14 touchdowns. Trying to keep him about to operate with Lance, a next-calendar year pro, makes much too a lot sense for the 49ers, in particular if they can jettison Garoppolo and his deal to a purchaser prior to September.
