Deebo Samuel Sr.

Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz says the 49ers “have listened to calls” for Deebo Samuel but that the Patriots and Bills are “highly unlikely to trade for him.”

The Boston Sports Journal’s Mike Giardi reported earlier that the Bills and Patriots both had interest in Samuel, but Schultz’s sources don’t think either team will move to close a deal for the All-Pro receiver. The 49ers clearly aren’t opposed to shopping Samuel, but the price will have to be right if they’re going to break up a star-studded receiving corps that could very well make another run at a Super Bowl title next season. It’s still possible a deal for Samuel gets done at some point in the very near future, but the buyers may not come in the form of the Bills or Patriots.
