Jimmy Garoppolo Reacts to Deebo Samuel Requesting Trade

The Niners are in a bit of disarray after Deebo Samuel officially demanded a trade away from the team.

Jimmy Garoppolo, who may or may not be traded himself, recently appeared on SiriusXM NFL Radio and gave his take on the matter. Jimmy Garoppolo called Samuel “one of the best football players” he has ever been around. Garoppolo also said that Samuel is going to get his one one or another.

Jimmy pretty much said he’ll either get paid in San Fran or somewhere else.

“I don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes and what the reasons are for everything, but what they’d be getting in Deebo is one of the best football players and one of the best guys I’ve ever been with,” Garoppolo said. “I’ve been with Deebo since he was a rookie, so I’ve seen him evolve and grow. The way he set the tone for us in practice, the games, the meeting rooms, whatever it is – he puts his heart into it.

“You have to appreciate a guy like that. He’s a teammate who is going to put it all out on the line for you. However this whole thing works out for him, he deserves his money. He’s going to get it, one way or another.”

Deebo Samuel racked up 1,770 scrimmage yards and 14 total touchdowns last season. Towards the end of the season he was singlehandedly carrying the entire offense.

The Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers are just a few potential landing spots for Deebo.
