Deebo Samuel will report for duty Tuesday as the San Francisco 49ers kick off Day 1 of mandatory minicamp.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Samuel is expected to attend minicamp this week after skipping voluntary OTAs, per a source informed of the plans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
After requesting a trade earlier this offseason, Samuel remains on the Niners roster, with general manger John Lynch recently noting he’d be a “fool” to trade the dynamic receiver.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Attending mandatory minicamp doesn’t mean Samuel is happy with his contract situation, as he enters the final year of his rookie deal. But it’s a positive step in the right direction that doesn’t inflame the situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Players who skip mandatory work are subject to possible fines unless they are given excused absences – like the Niners have done with Jimmy Garoppolo. Samuel reporting for minicamp wipes out that concern.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Another star 49er likely to attend minicamp is pass rusher Nick Bosa. The fourth-year defensive end was in the building Monday, a sign he will be at camp, Rapoport added. Bosa, like Samuel, has not been attending OTAs and is a candidate to be extended.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Last season, Samuel spearheaded the Niners’ postseason run, proving a dynamic force as a receiver and a ball-carrier, netting 1,405 receiving yards and 365 rushing yards with 14 total TDs in 16 regular-season games. The 26-year-old is due a massive pay raise. Perhaps attending minicamp is the first good-faith step in resolving the gap between the sides.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
