The trade request from Deebo Samuel from the San Francisco 49ers is believed to not be about the money.

"From my understanding, he basically told them like 'I want to be traded. Don't make an offer,' said Ian Rapoport on the Pat McAfee Show.

"It's like when people say 'it's probably about the money...' I don't think it is."

The 49ers didn't make an offer initially to Samuel, which could have potentially changed his calculus at least somewhat even if it isn't truly about the money.

"It didn't seem like any animosity because he wants to be traded."
