With the 49ers set to report to training camp next Tuesday, Deebo Samuel is still waiting for a new contract.<\/p>\n

There’s a chance he might not have to wait too much longer.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Samuel’s trainer posted a video to Instagram from a workout with the star receiver and said, \u201cHe about to get paid.\u201d<\/p>\n

It’s possible that could be a sign things are moving closer to Samuel agreeing to a long-term deal with San Francisco.<\/p>\n

Samuel, entering the season on the final year of his rookie deal, made noise in the offseason by reportedly requesting a trade from the 49ers. But the possibility of San Francisco sending the “wide-back” away in a trade significantly decreased after he wasn’t moved during the NFL draft.<\/p>\n

“I’d be a fool to trade him,” 49ers general manager John Lynch said during the annual Dwight Clark Legacy Series in June.<\/p>\n

As Lynch knows, Samuel’s 1,770 total yards and 14 touchdowns last season would be difficult to replace, especially as second-year quarterback Trey Lance takes over under center. But if the sweaty video from Samuel’s trainer is any indication, both sides just might be happy with a new deal soon.<\/p>\n
