Deebo Samuel trade simulation: Five different offers for the 49ers to consider

New York Times  

The 49ers’ dynamic wide receiver Deebo Samuel has requested a trade, a source told The Athletic on Wednesday. The Texans could backload a new contract for Samuel to make him fit in 2022, and when the cap hits rise in the years that follow, potentially having a starting quarterback on a rookie deal — whether it’s Davis Mills or someone else — would make Samuel’s big price tag easier to swallow. It’s possible the Chiefs could send three picks to the 49ers for Samuel, but general manager Brett Veach will likely want to keep the team’s two second-round picks. How it can work with your team’s cap space: If the Chiefs acquired Samuel, the team would still have $15 million in cap space, according to Over The Cap. I think their preference would be to frontload the picks to maintain next offseason’s flexibility, especially since landing Samuel might have a positive impact on their ability to lure a veteran quarterback to Philadelphia.
