Deebo Samuel’s simple message to 49ers after trade to Commanders
NY Post
Deebo Samuel is a man of few words on his way out of San Francisco.
Samuel bypassed penning a long, heartfelt goodbye message to 49ers fans the way that some athletes do when changing teams in favor of posting a video montage of his favorite moments with a short caption.
“Appreciate yall for everything!!!!!” Samuel wrote on Instagram.
The 49ers agreed to trade Samuel to the Commanders for a fifth-round draft pick Saturday during the NFL Scouting Combine.
Samuel, 29, announced during Super Bowl week that he had requested a trade.
One of the most unique wide receivers in the NFL because of his ability to be a power running back at times, Samuel is coming off the worst full season of his six-year career with the 49ers.

Of course this is not 2018, this deadline does not represent a sea change in philosophy resembling that one. But, just as seven years ago, the hierarchy — different general managers, same CEO — is not homing in at making a run at eighth place at the expense of acquiring future assets in exchange for expiring contracts.
