49ers WR Deebo Samuel Seeks Trade Following Disappointing Season

Deebo Samuel, star wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, appears to be on the verge of a trade after a disappointing 2024 season, during which he averaged a career-low 44.7 receiving yards per game. The 49ers have reportedly given him permission to seek a trade, fueled by concerns over his weight and performance, as the team missed the playoffs. With Samuel entering the final year of his contract and coming off a season with only 670 receiving yards and three touchdowns, his trade value is expected to be low, potentially around a Day 3 draft pick. The Pittsburgh Steelers are among the teams considering a move for Samuel, but the 49ers may need to package picks to secure a better deal. Meanwhile, the 49ers have already drafted a wide receiver and extended Brandon Aiyuk's contract, signaling a shift in their roster strategy. Despite the buzz around a potential trade, Samuel's future with the 49ers remains uncertain, with some odds suggesting he might still stay with the team.
