Observe begins at 10:50 a.m. It’s conceivable Bosa and Samuel shall be observers slightly than individuals, in order to not threat harm.
In not acquiescing to Samuel’s commerce request previous to the draft on April 28, coach Kyle Shanahan mentioned the 49ers didn't draw a bid remotely worthy of their consideration.
Shanahan, normal supervisor John Lynch and 49ers possession has maintained all alongside a dedication to financially reward Samuel for his first All-Professional season, having served as their offensive catalyst en path to the NFC Championship Recreation.

Scheduled to make $4 million within the last yr of his rookie contract, Samuel has by no means publicly defined any motive for requesting a commerce.
“I speak about our imaginative and prescient for our gamers and what we would like a 49er to be, and he embodies in addition to anybody,” Lynch added. “He clearly has the expertise, dimension, velocity, energy. However the factor I really like about the best way the man performs, actually each time he touches the ball … he tells me that his dad informed him, ‘Each time you contact the ball, you rating.’ … and I actually suppose Deebo believes that, that he ought to (rating).”
Samuel’s eight speeding touchdowns had been essentially the most in a season by a large receiver, and he added six touchdowns amongst his 1,405 receiving yards with a league-leading common of 18.2 yards per catch.
