An internet rumor led to some speculation that the 49ers might trade Deebo Samuel this offseason. The merits of the rumor matter less than the fact there’s not a realistic compensation a the 49ers would accept given the financial ramifications of dealing the 27-year-old wide receiver before the 2023 season.
Samuel signed a three-year extension with the 49ers worth $71,550,000 with $41 million guaranteed last offseason following a lengthy negotiation that featured a trade request from the former second-round pick.
