Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta completely shut down a rumor Thursday that his team had reached out to the San Francisco 49ers to see whether star wide receiver Deebo Samuel was available for a trade—and he did so with a perfect one-liner.
“I read The Lorax last week at a local elementary school, and I would probably put that report similar to that,” DeCosta told media members at a Thursday press conference.
The Lorax, of course, is a fictional children’s book. So, it appears DeCosta didn’t think much of the report from Jason La Canfora of 105.7 The Fan.
