Deebo Samuel Requests Trade to Broncos, Texans; No Offers Expected

As the NFL trade season heats up, Cooper Kupp's potential availability has sparked interest following Deebo Samuel's trade request from the San Francisco 49ers. Teams like the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans are considered possible landing spots for Kupp, although concerns about his salary and injury history complicate potential deals. On the other hand, Deebo Samuel is reportedly interested in joining the Broncos or Texans, yet neither team is expected to pursue him given his cap hit and recent injury concerns. The 49ers are under pressure to honor Samuel's request, which is further complicated by their need to manage salary cap space ahead of quarterback Brock Purdy's extension. Comparatively, Kupp's age and contract terms are also factors dissuading teams from pursuing him aggressively, despite his past success. Ultimately, both players face uncertain futures as interest varies across the league.
