Time off is great, but 49ers general manager John Lynch would prefer not to start vacation mode in January again.

DraftKings Sportsbook released the betting odds for where Aaron Rodgers, Myles Garrett, Cooper Kupp and Deebo Samuel will ultimately end up this offseason. The New York Jets announced that they will be releasing Rodgers this offseason after a tumultuous two years.

It looked like the San Francisco 49ers were going to run into the worst-case scenario following wide receiver Deebo Samuel’s trade request. Samuel, entering the final year of his contract, was going to require an extension from any team that traded for him.

Deebo Samuel’s time as a 49er is over. Nothing is official yet, but the fate is unavoidable. Before March 22 — and likely before NFL free agency opens on March 12 — the Niners will cut Samuel with a post-June 1 designation.

After six mostly productive years, the San Francisco 49ers and wide receiver Deebo Samuel may have reached the end of the line. On Feb. 9, Samuel indicated to ESPN that he had asked the 49ers to trade him.
