The San Francisco 49ers face challenges amid Deebo Samuel's trade request. With Samuel needing a contract extension in the last year of his deal, other teams may hesitate to trade. However, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported multiple teams show interest, hinting at potential trades. This scenario could lead to a bidding war, giving the 49ers leverage. Despite the positive signs, skepticism exists that the reports could be a tactic to drum up interest in Samuel, indicating that the team might still face a release if a trade does not materialize.
"I just checked in on this. I was told that several teams have expressed interest, so at least preliminary talks on a potential trade have happened between Samuel, his agent and the team."
"If multiple teams are interested in signing Samuel, then one may be more willing to give up draft capital for him knowing they could lose him to another team if he hits the open market."
