Deebo Samuel Returns to 49ers on 1-Year, $7M Deal

The 49ers signed former All-Pro WR Deebo Samuel to a 1-year, $7M contract, reuniting with the star to address WR depth after Pearsall's knee concern and Aiyuk's expected departure. Samuel provides a proven playmaker and immediate boost to the offense. Jersey number change: Cowing to 6, Deebo to 19. Deebo is not yet practicing. Mike Evans and others have praised his energy and versatility. A critical analysis questions the team's direction, but the move is seen as practical given injuries.
