Deebo Samuel Won't Be Traded To New England
2 years agoAccording to Sports Illustrated senior NFL reporter Albert Breer, the 49ers have no plans on dealing wide receiver Deebo Samuel. There were rumors that the wideout could be on the move, with the Patriots emerging as a potential suitor. However, per Breer, who spoke with "somebody who'd absolutely know on this," San Francisco isn't trading Samuel to New England. In fact, the team isn't trading him at all. The 27-year-old had a down season in 2022, finishing with 632 receiving yards and two touchdowns off 56 catches. He also had 232 rushing yards and three touchdowns off 42 carries. With that said, despite his dip in production, Samuel should draw interest from fantasy managers heading into the 2023-24 campaign. Yet, a healthy George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk may not help Samuel improve his numbers from last season. In addition, uncertainty at the quarterback position is also another cause for concern regarding Samuel's outlook.
