Teams are reportedly calling the 49ers about a trade for Deebo Samuel. San Francisco should listen.
San Francisco 49ers’ Deebo Samuel before their NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Jan. 28, 2024. “A good leader is always learning.”
Of course, the price has to be right , but San Francisco should jettison their game-changing, do-it-all wide receiver this offseason.This is about being a year early instead of a year late. And while I do not doubt that he will be one of the most impactful players in the league in 2024, I also think it’s fair to say that his best football is behind him.
That was the 49ers’ offense, and it had little resemblance to the “true” Shanahan offense — the one we saw in Houston, Cleveland, and Atlanta — which funnels the ball to the X receiver. The Niners can’t truly replace a player like Samuel because there’s no other player like Samuel in the league. But do the Niners need that kind of idiosyncratic player anymore?
Well, actually, it’s after June 1 — that’s when the Niners can first reasonably trade Samuel for salary cap purposes — but the point stands.
