The San Francisco 49ers didn’t trade Deebo Samuel during the 2022 NFL draft, but the wide receiver still wants to be moved, even if it could take a long time this offseason, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Fowler provided the latest on the situation Sunday on SportsCenter:
“I guess Odell Beckham Jr. is out here breaking news, saying Deebo Samuel is going to the Patriots, I guess that was a joke. I never got the sense the Patriots were involved, that his price tag would be too rich. But right now, the teams who were involved or that inquired about Samuel addressed their needs at receiver in the draft. So this could be a long process. I’m told Deebo still is dug in, still wants to be traded, but knows this could drag out for a while.”
Odell Beckham Jr. tweeted that Samuel was traded to the New England Patriots on Saturday, but it was quickly denied by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
“Nothing was remotely close to what we thought was fair to us or the 49ers,” San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said about Samuel trade talks during the draft.
