BREAKING: Deebo Samuel ‘Dream’ Trade Would Ship 49ers Star WR to AFC

After reaching the Super Bowl last season, the San Francisco 49ers entered 2024, hoping to return and finish the job.

But with a 4-4 record midway through the season, injuries have taken a toll on their offense. Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, Ricky Pearsall, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings have all been out at some point.

If the Niners fail to turn things around, would they consider moving one of their stars to clear cap space?

Chris Licata of Athlon Sports floated the idea of trading Samuel when putting together “10 NFL Dream Trade Scenarios That Could Shake Up the League.”

It’s not totally out of the question. In June, the former second-round pick admitted there were talks about a possible trade involving him.

While it’s unclear which team the Niners had discussions with at the time, Licata considered possible landing spots and pointed to the New England Patriots as a strong option for a potential 2025 offseason deal.

“This would undoubtedly be a 2025 offseason move given Samuel’s contract structure,” he wrote.

Licata based his reasoning on two things. First, New England leads the NFL in 2025 cap space.

“Money also isn’t an issue considering the Patriots currently have the most 2025 salary cap space in the NFL with over $130 million,” he added.

Licata also emphasized the Patriots’ need for an “immediate impact starter” to pair with their rookie quarterback, Drake Maye.

“New England should also be in contention for a top-five draft pick that could land the franchise another immediate impact starter to help quarterback Drake Maye,” Licata said. “The Patriots’ offense needs all the juice it can get, so Samuel’s rushing prowess and overall YAC ability would be a huge needle-mover.”

Samuel is in his sixth season in the NFL. In 2024, he has recorded 24 receptions for 406 yards and one touchdown. On the ground, the 28-year-old has 23 carries for 66 yards and one touchdown.
