Deebo Samuel seeks trade, hints at Broncos interest

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel has requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers, with potential interest in joining the Denver Broncos, where he could play a key role alongside young quarterback Bo Nix. Samuel praised the Broncos during an interview, hinting at his openness to the team, as he enters the final year of his contract and looks for a fresh start. Meanwhile, the Broncos are also scouting tight end Harold Fannin, who had a standout performance at the Senior Bowl and is projected as a second-round pick in the upcoming draft, addressing the team's need at that position. Additionally, there's speculation that the Broncos could acquire Taysom Hill from the New Orleans Saints, as head coach Sean Payton has a history with Hill and may seek to add him to bolster the offense. Furthermore, the Broncos are eyeing Darren Rizzi, available after the Saints' coaching changes, as a potential special teams coordinator hire to improve their kicking game. Juwan Johnson, a tight end and former player under Payton, is also considering a reunion with the Broncos as he enters free agency.
