The deal sent a franchise icon across the country and cleared cap space for the 49ers to extend tight end George Kittle and prepare for future moves around quarterback Brock Purdy. Even with the business side looming over it, the 49ers star made clear he still has one wish for Samuel after he was traded to the Commanders.</p><p>On a recent episode of Kittle Things, Kittle sat down with NBA legend Kevin Garnett Tuesday to revisit the move and what it meant inside the 49ers locker room. The tight end praised Samuel for his toughness and playmaking and emphasized that his former teammate simply wanted a fresh start. Coach Yac, a popular voice on X (formerly known as Twitter) who often weighs in on the 49ers and the San Francisco Giants, <a href="https://x.com/Coach_Yac/status/1995938703215112605" rel="noopener">shared</a> a clip of the exchange with his followers to highlight the 49ers tight end’s honest answer regarding the trade and his hope for Samuel’s future.</p><p>“I love Deebo. One of my favorite teammates of all time. He’s got the aura. He’s got the persona. He hits people. He makes all the superstar plays. I love him to death. Sometimes guys need a fresh start and I think that’s what he wanted. He wanted a change of scenery and I respect that. It is what it is. I got great years out of Deebo and have a great relationship with him. I love him for it, but if we play him I hope he doesn’t have a great game against us.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kevin Garnett asked George Kittle his thoughts on the 49ers trading Deebo Samuel last offseason:</p><p>“I love Deebo.

Samuel, meanwhile, has stepped into a more traditional wide receiver role in Washington.

That theme became the story when the veteran tight end explained why the group continues to respond.</p><p>Following the win, SportsCenter posted to X (formerly known as Twitter) a clip of the six-time Pro Bowler discussing how the 49ers maintain high expectations regardless of who is available. The video <a href="https://x.com/SportsCenter/status/1993177179467731106?s=20" rel="noopener">highlighted his message</a> about accountability across the roster.</p><p>“And the 49ers organization, we have a standard that which we play at. … Even when your best players are out, we still want to hold guys to that standard.”</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"And the 49ers organization, we have a standard that which we play at. … Even when your best players are out, we still want to hold guys to that standard."</p><p>—<a href="https://twitter.com/gkittle46?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@gkittle46</a> on the 49ers' mentality 😤 <a href="https://t.co/pgcAxYesQY">pic.twitter.com/pgcAxYesQY</a></p><p>— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) <a href="https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1993177179467731106?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 25, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>The key absences Kittle referenced have shaped the entire season. Brock Purdy battled a turf toe injury suffered in Week 1, missed eight total starts after re-aggravating it in Week 4, and only returned to the lineup in Week 11. During that extended stretch, the offense leaned heavily on Mac Jones, who delivered a 5-3 record as the temporary starter. His 2,151 passing yards and 97.4 rating revived his career and kept the team in the playoff race while the 49ers injuries mounted across multiple positions.</p><p>Against Carolina, the 49ers again had to win with resilience. Purdy threw three interceptions, yet the defense allowed only nine points, Christian McCaffrey rushed for 142 yards and a touchdown, and Kittle added 59 receiving yards in a steady effort.
