The latest update on San Francisco 49ers’ standout wide receiver Deebo Samuel has stirred up the rumor mill ahead of Day 2 of the NFL Draft. There had been speculation about a potential trade involving Samuel to either the Buffalo Bills or New England Patriots. However, recent reports suggest that such a trade is now highly unlikely, according to insights shared by Jordan Schultz of Bleacher Report.
While the 49ers have entertained inquiries about Samuel, sources indicate that both the Patriots and Bills are unlikely candidates to make a move for him. Despite initial buzz surrounding a possible trade, it seems that Samuel’s destination won’t be Buffalo or New England unless circumstances change dramatically.
With the Bills poised to make the 33rd overall pick and the Patriots holding an early second-round selection, both teams could still address their wide receiver needs on Day 2 of the draft. However, it appears that the spotlight on Samuel’s potential trade has dimmed for now.
Meanwhile, the 49ers boast a wealth of talent in their wide receiver corps, with Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk drawing attention in trade talks. Alongside the emergence of Ricky Pearsall, who has impressed scouts, San Francisco’s offense is shaping up to be formidable in the upcoming season.
While trade possibilities loom, the 49ers’ stacked receiving options offer flexibility for potential moves as the draft progresses. Whether a trade materializes or not, the team appears poised for a strong campaign and a potential Super Bowl run in the 2024-25 season. Keep an eye on Pearsall’s potential impact, especially if trade scenarios involving Samuel or Aiyuk come to fruition.
