Super Bowl LIX wasn't the only big NFL news on Sunday, as 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel reportedly requested a trade during his exit meeting with Kyle Shanahan in January. Deebo and his agent also reportedly were granted permission to seek a trade partner to facilitate the deal. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down Samuel's time with the team from his All-Pro 2021 season to his dip in production since signing a three-year extension that started with a very public hold-out. Matt and Jennifer discuss what the ramifications of moving on from Deebo are, both contractually and from a roster-construction standpoint. The 2025 49ers wide receivers room no doubt will be different this coming season. Who will they sign? Who will step up? Matt and Jennifer attempt to answer those tough questions on this episode of 49ers Talk.
