Luke Farrell spent all four of his NFL seasons with Jacksonville after being selected by them in the 5th round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.

The 27-year-old started eight of their 17 games last season, recording 12 receptions for 67 yards.

More known for his blocking, it will give head coach Kyle Shanahan some optionality alongside George Kittle. NBCS‘s Matt Maiocco also reported that Farrell will “also play special teams.”

Deebo Samuel, dealt by the San Francisco 49ers to the Washington Commanders over the weekend, took to social media on Monday to clarify his feelings about his now former team and his conditioning in 2024.

Following a disappointing 2024 season, the veteran wide receiver requested a trade, and the 49ers eventually obliged.

He posted Monday on X, “49ers know where I stand with them and it’s nothing but love. Love John (Lynch, the general manager) and Kyle (Shanahan, the head coach) to death no bad blood no way shape or form. They know I’m more than appreciative of everything they done for me as a player and a man nothing but love.”
