Deebo Samuel<\/a> reportedly is on his way back to the 49ers on a one-year contract<\/a>, but whether or not the wide receiver will make an impact during the 2026 NFL season remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

Still, San Francisco desperately needs depth at the position, and who doesn’t love a little nostalgia — especially when it comes by way of a former All-Pro?<\/p>\n

Most of the 49ers Faithful was happy to hear there once again would be “19 Problemz<\/a>” in the Bay, though there certainly are a few questioning the decision by San Francisco’s front office<\/a>. Here are some of the best reactions:<\/p>\n

I think we can close the books on the Deebo Samuel trade from last year:<\/p>\n

49ers get: the 147th pick pick in the 2025 draft (Jordan James) and Deebo<\/p>\n

Commanders get: Brandon Aiyuk social media posts<\/p>\n

So will Deebo be living in Kyle Juszczyk’s or George Kittle’s guest house?<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want the 49ers to resign Deebo. He wasn\u2019t great the last time he was here. Kyle force feeds him too much. But he\u2019s back. Hopefully it works out. I\u2019d love to be wrong.<\/p>\n

Deebo being back is massive for the Niners. This team needs playmakers in a huge way\u2026 and depth.<\/p>\n

The only thing that stands between this team and a Super Bowl, is the same thing as always\u2026<\/p>\n

Health.<\/p>\n

Bringing Deebo back is going to have the same energetic effect on offense that bringing Greenlaw back is going to have on the defense. <\/p>\n

Both guys bring a particular swagger, a vibe, that raises the play of those around them. It\u2019s why the key vets in SF wanted both of those men\u2026<\/p>\n

Dre came home
Deebo came home<\/p>\n

This generation of the @49ers<\/a> is a true family and need that ring!!#49ers<\/a> #FTTB<\/a><\/p>\n

Niners super unlucky with Pearsall but equally lucky that a player like Deebo was just hanging out on the market. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s not the same guy anymore but he\u2019s still a worthwhile player \u2014 especially in a Kyle Shanahan offense.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Dieter Kurtenbach \ud83d\udd25 (@dieter) July 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ll see what happens with Deebo this season, but I do agree with one thing that I heard someone say\u2026<\/p>\n

Deebo brings an attitude and a swagger back to SF that I think was missing last season. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s a bully, and the 49ers need to go back to being bullies. <\/p>\n

Welcome back.<\/p>\n

And of course, hear from the man himself: 19 is back.<\/p>\n
