Players and fans react to 'Killa' Deebo Samuel signing

Deebo Samuel is back with the San Francisco 49ers after signing a one-year, $7 million contract on Thursday evening, triggering rapid reactions from teammates and fans online. Dre Greenlaw, a 2019 draftee returning to reunite with Samuel, celebrated via Instagram, while fullback Kyle Juszczyk posted that “The squad is back!” The @OurSF49ers account shared a montage featuring former Los Angeles Rams cornerback Jalen Ramsey reacting “I’m him,” followed by clips of Samuel evading tackles and scoring. The article also notes the signing comes hours after reports that the 49ers fear third-year wide receiver Ricky Pearsall could miss the entire 2026 season due to potential surgery for a PCL injury. Samuel previously produced 72 receptions for 727 yards and 5 touchdowns with the Washington Commanders.
