Deebo Samuel is back with the San Francisco 49ers on a one-year deal worth up to $7 million — but the real story isn’t Deebo. It’s Brandon Aiyuk, Ricky Pearsall’s knee, and a receiver room falling apart in training camp. Here’s what actually happened: the 49ers traded Deebo to Washington for a fifth-round pick in March 2025 because they believed Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk were their future. Two years later, Pearsall has knee swelling tied to a prior PCL injury and may miss all of 2026, Christian Kirk strained his calf on his first practice as a 49er, Jauan Jennings signed with Minnesota, and Brandon Aiyuk hasn’t spoken to the organization since walking away last season — while publicly asking to be released so he can sign with Washington That leaves Mike Evans, who turns 33 in August, and a 30-year-old Deebo Samuel who averaged 10.1 yards per catch with the Commanders in 2025. Week 1 is the Rams on September 10 in Melbourne, Australia. Subscribe for daily 49ers roster breakdo...
