Just a few days after Kyler Murray pulled out mentions of Arizona Cardinals from his Instagram, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel became the latest NFL star to wipe his club’s name from Social media. Recently, he claimed that his actions didn’t go well with some of the fans.

The receiver is alleged to have indulged in extension talks with the Niners. He will be entering the last year of his rookie contract, and if he fails to reach an agreement, Samuel will be an unrestricted free agent by next year.

Deebo Samuel faces the heat of angry Niners fans

Recently, the first team All-pro released a video clip stating the Niners fans are angry at him. According to Samuel, the same 49ers fans who cheered him on while he dazzled as an offensive weapon for the team are now sending him death threats and racist comments.

The WR is entering the fourth and final year of the contract he signed with the Niners in 2019. As a result, he wants the organization to evaluate its worth for the upcoming seasons. According to Tony Pauline, Samuel is looking to hit $25 million a year with the Niners. If the deal doesn’t work out, Samuel will be a free agent, and the Niners may lose an elite receiver from their roster.

Amid this contract extension talks, Samuel removed all the information and bio-related to the 49ers from his social media handles which probably irked the fans fearing that the team may lose him. But the former South Carolina alumnus seems confident about getting a new home in the upcoming season.

Samuel has been a lethal weapon for the Niners’ offense

Retaining Samuel would be vital for the Niners. The star showcased his blazing talent in the previous season by appearing in 16 games for the Niners. He caught 77 passes for 1045 receiving yards and made 14 touchdowns. Six through the air and eight on the ground.

Samuel got selected in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft. He signed a four-year contract for $7,697,356 including a bonus worth $3,618,076. Samuel is set to earn $4 million in 2022.

Well, the team can easily reach Pauline’s predictions by trading Jimmy Garoppolo, which is imminent, freeing up $25.5 million in salary-cap space. It would be interesting to see how things will change for Samuel if the Niners are unable to retain him.
