After reaching the\u00a0Super Bowl\u00a0last season, the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0entered 2024, hoping to return and finish the job.<\/p>\n

But with a 4-4 record midway through the season, injuries have taken a toll on their offense.\u00a0Deebo Samuel,\u00a0Christian McCaffrey, Ricky Pearsall,\u00a0Brandon Aiyuk\u00a0and Jauan Jennings have all been out at some point.<\/p>\n

If the Niners fail to turn things around, would they consider moving one of their stars to clear cap space?<\/p>\n

Chris Licata of Athlon Sports\u00a0floated the idea of trading Samuel when putting together “10 NFL Dream Trade Scenarios That Could Shake Up the League.”<\/p>\n

It’s not totally out of the question. In June, the former\u00a0second-round pick admitted\u00a0there were talks about a possible trade involving him.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s unclear which team the Niners had discussions with at the time, Licata considered possible landing spots and pointed to the\u00a0New England Patriots\u00a0as a strong option for a potential 2025 offseason deal.<\/p>\n

“This would undoubtedly be a 2025 offseason move given\u00a0Samuel’s contract structure,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

Licata based his reasoning on two things. First, New England leads the NFL in 2025 cap space.<\/p>\n
