A member of the 2023 San Francisco 49ers NFC Championship team made a few interesting posts this month that received a lot of attention from fans. The free agent wide receiver recently deleted his account.

As previously discussed on GH, Willie Snead IV posted a shot on his X account at his previous two stops, the Carolina Panthers and 49ers:
While [Arik] Armstead, a veteran team favorite on the defense, had a problem getting paid by the front office, Snead had the opposite problem in San Francisco. On his X account, Snead wrote the 49ers have an “entitlement” issue in their locker room. He hinted they don’t let players compete for playing time:
All I want is to go back to a team that isn’t afraid to let guys compete for a roster spot. These last 3 years been nothing short of entitlement… Competition breedz Champions, Snead wrote.

A few days later, Snead followed that post by writing that he wanted to join the AFC North for the upcoming season:
Snead knows where he wants to go next. Snead posted another message on his X account telling the NFL world he wants to play for the AFC’s black and blue division:
“I need to be back in the AFC North. That brand of football is just different,” Snead wrote.
Snead deleted his X account

Not all of the comments to Snead’s posts were nice, especially from 49ers fans who didn’t appreciate his comments about San Francisco.
It’s unclear why Snead deleted his X account. His Instagram account is still active. However, X claims the account no longer exists.
