San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel remains one of the most fascinating names to follow in the rumor mill between now and the Nov. 5 trade deadline.
The 49ers haven’t offered any indications that they’re shopping Deebo Samuel this year, but GM John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan need just one strong offer from a rival team to make the move.
As great of a player as Samuel is, he’s not exactly untouchable in 49er land. They already have three superstar weapons in running back Christian McCaffrey, tight end Geore Kittle and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
They used their 2024 first-round pick on wideout Ricky Pearsall, and veteran Jauan Jennings is in the midst of a career year amid a string of injuries to key skill position guy players. On top of that, Samuel carries a hefty cap hit of $15.957 million for 2025, according to OvertheCap.com.
