AFC Contender Lands 49ers Superstar WR Deebo Samuel In Blockbuster Trade Proposal That Would Shake Up The Super Bowl Odds

Along with teammate Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel was widely mentioned as a potential trade candidate during last week’s NFL Draft.

When the 49ers drafted Florida Gators wide receiver Ricky Pearsall with the No. 31 selection, it certainly felt like Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel would be traded. ESPN’s Nick Wagoner recently reported that the 49ers were “taking calls on both,” but a deal never materialized for either superstar.

Of course, it’s not too late for a Samuel trade to transpire if the right offer comes along. Remember, Khalil Mack was traded from the Oakland Raiders to the Chicago Bears just days before the 20218 season began

Plenty of teams could use Samuel’s all-world abilities, but one contender in the AFC stands out as an ideal landing spot for the 28-year-old. That would be Josh Allen’s Buffalo Bills, who desperately need a capable No. 1 wide receiver after trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans last month.

Buffalo used the No. 33 pick on Florida State wide receiver Keon Coleman, but asking him to replace Diggs’ All-Pro production is a little unfair for a rookie. Free agent signing Curtis Samuel, who hasn’t topped 851 receiving yards in a season, is better suited as a No. 3 receiver.

What The Bills Should Offer For Deebo Samuel
Considering Buffalo only got a 2025 second-round pick from Houston for Diggs, it’s fair to assume that Brandon Beane won’t have to give up a future first-rounder for Samuel. The latter is three years younger than Diggs, but the Houston star has endured far better production.

Buffalo should offer San Francisco its 2025 second-round pick (Beane has Houston’s 2025 second-rounder in his back pocket) and a 2025 fourth-round selection.

Trading Samuel opens up valuable cap space for San Francisco to extend Aiyuk in the long term. They can even use the additional draft picks from Buffalo to swing a trade for another quality wide receiver.

The Bills’ new-look offense would consist of the two Samuels and Coleman. Acquiring Deebo would go a long way in helping Buffalo close the gap with the Kansas City Chiefs and remain a powerhouse in the AFC.
