The 49ers have inked a one‑year, up to $7 million contract with Deebo Samuel, bringing the former 49er back to the Bay Area after a brief season with Washington. Samuel, who finished the 2024 season with 72 receptions for 727 yards and five touchdowns, will add veteran playmaking to a revamped receiving corps that now includes Mike Evans, Christian Kirk and rookie De’Zhaun Stribling. tbzikra.org
Reuniting with coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterback Brock Purdy, Samuel’s return provides an immediate offensive catalyst as San Francisco looks to compete for the NFC West title.
