The San Francisco 49ers are in the midst of a pretty uncomfortable situation regarding wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk as he is holding himself out of practice while he seeks a new contract. He has also requested a trade from the team as those contract talks have stalled. But teammate Deebo Samuel seems optimistic that the two sides will reach a deal that will keep him in San Francisco.
During a recent interview, Deebo Samuel offered his optimistic prediction that “something has to work out” between Brandon Aiyuk and the Niners.
“Overall, it’s a tough situation,” Samuel told NFL Media on Monday according to 49erswebzone.com. “Going through it in [2022], it’s just some things you take personal that don’t need to be taken personal. Overall, it’s just a stressful process because, at the end of the day, you want what you think you deserve, and your team has to work with this team, and it’s so much back-and-forth.
“It’s just like sometimes it gets stressful because, at the end of the day, you want to be out here with your guys, and want to be out here practicing. But overall, you want what you deserve. So, at the end of the day, something has to give; something has to work out. But I feel like something’s gonna happen, hopefully.”
Aiyuk and Samuel were one of the most dominant wide receiver combinations in the entire league last season. We’ll have to see if they can stay together this season.
