Deebo Samuel still wants out.

However the 49ers have not shown any interest, in fact Niners GM John Lynch said that he’s not even considering trading the electric dual threat wide receiver.

“You just don’t let guys like that walk. I can’t envision a scenario where we would.”

Last week, Samuel told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington that he had requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers.

He may actually get his wish.  According to NFL insider Tony Pauline,   rumors are “heating up” as the NFL Draft is tomorrow.

The team that is being considered the ‘front-runner’ for Deebo’s service are the New York Jets.

“49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel recently requested a trade, and most people in the league consider the Jets the front-runners, though even some interested teams don’t expect the 49ers to move off Samuel in the short term. Multiple teams are calling, and it’s believed San Francisco is at least listening. I’m told the Lions and Packers also have interest. As one source pointed out, “It would take so much for Kyle [Shanahan] to trade him to Green Bay,” given the rivalry both in the NFC and between the two coaches, Shanahan and Matt LaFleur.”

Samuel led the league in yards-per-reception and also lead the league in yards-per-target. He had 14 total touchdowns.

And if you saw him during the playoffs, you know just how much he can dominate a game.
