How much is Deebo Samuel really worth?
The San Francisco 49ers Deebo Samuel is electric and is one of the best playmakers in the NFL. He is coming off a career year where he was third in the NFL in all-purpose yardage. Samuel is Dynamic in that he can catch the ball or be used as a runner. That threat was proved in 2021 by his six receiving touchdowns and eight rushing touchdowns.
While Samuel’s incredible year was great for the 49ers, it was the first year that Samuel showed capable of doing great things. Now, based on one incredible year, Deebo Samuel wants to be paid as a top ten player in the league.
While justified in looking for a bigger contract, do the 49ers have faith enough in him to pay him the $25 million-plus he is looking for? One thing is for sure, the 49ers need his playmaking ability, but with the price tag Samuel is looking for, is it worth it?
