Santa Clara, California – like San Francisco 49ers It was prepared for a free and dodging of the American Football Association last year. There was an accurate but unambiguous feeling that the wide recipient was a needy stand.
Saturday 49ers agreed to trade Spacious Depo Samuel Father to Washington leaders In exchange for choosing the fifth round and now they find themselves in a similar position, although there is nothing infiltrated around this time.
Although Samuel’s trade felt that he was inevitable since he requested it at his meeting at the end of the season, it does not make saying goodbye any easier for general manager John Lynch, who described Samuel one of his favorite choices since his assumption in 2017.
“There is a lot of love there,” Linch said this week at the US Football Association. “There is a lot of respect there. There are a lot of common experiences, so to allow this, this is difficult. But the time is, and if it makes sense for both sides, you at least give it a chance.”
With Samuel’s appointment to wearing a different shirt for the first time in his career, the widespread commercial recipient reaches the list of external seasons needs. Although it may be less than repairing offensive and defensive lines, it is not far away.
49ers have five receptions – Brandon Iukand Joan Jenningsand Ricky Persaland Yaqoub Cowg and Trint Taylor – Those who flared a pass in 2024 under the contract of 2025.
Within that group, Ayuk starts ACL and MCL are torn on its right kneeJennings enters the last year of Extension of the contract Last summer, Pearsall and Cowing were not installed in the second American Football Association seasons and Taylor spent most of last year in the training team.
Samuel was removed from that group and receptions returning in San Francisco combined for 70 receptions for 1024 yard and five lands in 2024, which means that there is a lot of work with Lynch and coach Kyle Shanihan to do this position.
Before any of this, 49ers must get a handle on the AIYUK condition. After negotiating the cylinder contract last summer, he appeared His own commercial request A handful of nearby deals, signed AIYUK Four years, 120 million dollars extension Before the season.
This is the recipient contract No. 1, and Ayuk is expected to deal with this role when he returns from his knee injury. Of course, niners does not know when it will be yet.
Ayuk suffered from a knee injury in a loss in October to Heads of Kansas After a slow start for the season. Lynch said that Ayuk “works well”, but he is scheduled to meet with Dr. Neil Eratrachish soon to make an update.
“He puts the work,” Lynch said. “This is what you have to do. I have always said that the real athletes who tend to heal a little faster, and I think this happens with Brandon as well, but there is a big test at some point … we will see where that lies.”

Debo Samuel’s decline from last season
See all the four Deepo Samuel’s four landing operations with 49ers last season while he was heading to leaders in trade.
Until Ayuk returns, Niners hopes that Jennings will continue to carry charging. Gennings starts The best season of the American Football Association for itSpreading its highest professional levels at receptions (77), Yuratat (975) and Downce (six). He ended the tenth place in the arenas of the whole road (2.51) and was one decrease above that it was considered by Shanihan one of the best prohibitions in the league.
“I have never been given.”. “The first quarter, the fourth quarter, the first player to another Snap. JJ only does not give up.”
Upon entering 2025, Gennings is scheduled to count $ 4.258 million for the maximum in the last year of extension for two years, at a value of $ 15.39 million, which he signed in the past. If he composes a strong appearance, he can priced his contract from San Francisco’s future plans.
This is why the development of Pearsall will be one of the most important Niners stories in the 2025 season. Bersal began a slow start as he cost him injuries in the knee and shoulder most of the training camps, then he was shot in his chest in an alleged attempt in San Francisco before the season.
Pearsall missed the first six games in the reserve/non -football injuries list and his first decline was recorded until the tenth week against Tamba Bay Boukanrerez. But the capabilities that made him choose No. 31 in the draft last year when he achieved 18 receptions for 247 yards and a pair of grades during the past three weeks.
49ers hopes to put it a full season to put it at the start of the starting houses and offer a big leap in the second year.
“I am definitely excited to build on the things that I stopped and continued to grow as a player,” Persal said in January. “Now I know what is expected. I will not be ascending anymore, so there will be no really new thing, so I will definitely be able to grow.”
But even if Jennings and Pearsall adopted last season, No. 49ers will be players in the recipient market in a free agency and are looking to add more in the draft. Niners 11 is expected to have a choice this year, waiting for compensatory options. Old warriors in Market like Robert Woodsand Darius Slayon and Amari Cooper It can have meaning, depending on the cost of their contracts.
Although they are unlikely to use their first choice – No. 11 – In the reception device, it is not a world of possibility that it is wide like Arizona Tetairoa mcmillan If the best player is on the blackboard when the role of 49ers to choose.
Others, like Missouri Luther Borden III Mississippi You see HarrisIt can also be interesting options in round 2 or with a slight move in the first round.
Last year, the 49 old warriors fell Chris Conley Taylor and the formulation of Pearsall and Cowing in the first and fourth rounds, respectively.
With Samuel’s gold, it will not be surprising if Niners follow a similar plan in the coming weeks.
