Deebo Samuel is reportedly returning to the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year contract. The deal is said to be worth up to $7 million, bringing the wide receiver back to a team where he has already played a major role.
The reported move gives the 49ers a familiar option in their receiving group as they continue shaping the roster for the upcoming season. Samuel’s return stands out because of his history in San Francisco and the impact he has had when healthy and involved in the offense.
According to the report, the agreement is for one year, which makes it a relatively short-term commitment for both sides. That structure can give the 49ers flexibility while also giving Samuel a chance to reestablish his value in a system that already knows how to use his skill set.
For San Francisco, the signing adds a recognizable playmaker back into the mix at a time when receiver decisions remain a major storyline. With Samuel returning on a deal reportedly worth up to $7 million, the 49ers keep a familiar name in the offense for at least another season.
