Intensity around the NFL will ramp up this week as mandatory minicamp gets underway, and it appears might be changing course in the ongoing contract dispute with the . Samuel was willfully absent from voluntary OTAs, in an offseason headlined by his demand for a trade that was wholly ignored by the club -- general manager John Lynch making Jamien Sherwood Jersey  it clear they had  with such a valuable piece of their offense.Now facing fines that could tally upward of $100,000 should he opt to skip the entirety of mandatory minicamp, Samuel is expected to be in attendance as early as Tuesday when things get underway, according toand confirmed by CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones. This does not nece sarily mean the fracture has been healed between the two sides, but it is a step toward a po sible long-term resolution, and also puts to bed any initial thoughts of Samuel pursuing a holdout that could stretch into and beyond training camp (a much, much more expensive decision).             SF  WR  #19  "He's too good of a player," Lynch said of Samuel this offseason, according to a transcription by..

Thirty-sixth pick in 2019, and he's been so good on and off the field. Obviously, a tremendous player. ... He makes us better. I think we make him better."And we're hopeful that we get everything right and that we're rolling forward."Samuel earned both his first Pro Bowl nod and All-Pro honor for his efforts in helping to lift the 49ers to the playoffs and, subsequently, victories over theand-- both on the road -- before narrowly losing in the NFC Championship to the eventual champion: the.Utilized as both a WR and a RB, , he racked up  Michael Carter II Jersey 1,770 yards from scrimmage with 14 touchdowns, and while that's fantastic for head coach Kyle Shanahan and the club as a whole, it brings into question both Samuel's contract (wideouts get paid exponentially more than running backs) and length of his NFL career (wideouts tend to last exponentially longer than running backs).  He did recently refollow the 49ers on social media after unfollowing and wiping his accounts, if you're one to apply credence to such things, so that is a potential positive in favor of Lynch and Shanahan.  John Franklin-Myers Jersey That said, he was also recently seen during a night out on the town to patrons who insisted he'd be back with the 49ers in 2022.That answer has apparently changed to "yes".
