The star wideout struggled with injuries with San Francisco last season but is tough, versatile, dangerous in space and capable of racking up big yards after the catch.

It was time for the San Francisco 49ers to part ways with wide receiver Deebo Samuel. The writing had been on the wall for some time. Samuel's production and reputation as an offensive playmaker have diminished recently.

Samuel's weight was an issue when he arrived in Santa Clara, Calif. in 2019 and it was problematic last season, his worst as a 49er.
