Deebo Samuel isn't at the San Francisco 49ers' voluntary organized team activities as he seeks a long-term deal, but that doesn't concern Kyle Shanahan.

The coach expects Samuel at San Francisco's mandatory minicamp next month.

"Yeah, of course I do," Shanahan said. "I thought that the last time I talked to you guys at draft time. I feel the same if not stronger."

Samuel's contract dispute with the 49ers led him to ask for a trade this offseason. The wide receiver is due $3.986 million in base salary in 2022, the final season of his rookie contract.

Deebo Samuel won't be in attendee for OTAs with the San Francisco 49ers this week.

Samuel's status with the 49ers remains in flux as he requested a trade this offseason.

Ian Rapoport said on the Pat McAfee Show he expects Samuel and the 49ers to eventually reach agreement on a deal but there is a lot of work still to be done.

The San Francisco 49ers still have Jimmy Garoppolo on their roster and it could continue due to how they feel about Trey Lance.

Reporter Matt Lombardo recently said the staff of the 49ers have been "continually underwhelmed" by Lance.

During his rookie season, Lance showed he still has raw potential, playing five games and throwing 603 yards with his limited playing time.

Recent social media activity from Deebo Samuel suggests his standoff with the San Francisco 49ers may be improving.

Samuel removed all references to the 49ers last month before his request for a trade was made public.

Samuel started following the 49ers on Instagram again, and he also liked an Instagram post about John Lynch saying that the issues between the team and Samuel can be worked out.

Samuel is due a $3.986 million base salary this season, the final year of his rookie contract.
