Seahawks Interested in Deebo Samuel Trade
Star Wide Receiver Could Be on the Move
San Francisco 49ers Considering Options
The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly interested in acquiring wide receiver Deebo Samuel in a trade, according to sources close to the team. The 49ers are reportedly considering all options for the versatile playmaker, who has requested a trade out of San Francisco. Samuel, 26, is coming off a breakout season in which he caught 77 passes for 1,405 yards and six touchdowns. He also rushed for 365 yards and eight touchdowns, making him one of the most dangerous offensive weapons in the NFL.
The Seahawks are in need of a receiver after trading away Tyler Lockett to the Atlanta Falcons. Samuel would be a perfect fit for Seattle's offense, which is led by quarterback Drew Lock. Samuel is a versatile player who can line up at receiver or running back, and he would give Lock a much-needed weapon in the passing game.
The 49ers are reportedly asking for a first-round pick and a second-round pick in exchange for Samuel. The Seahawks are reportedly willing to give up a first-round pick, but they are hesitant to part with a second-round pick. The two sides are reportedly still negotiating, but a trade could be completed in the coming days.
If the Seahawks do acquire Samuel, it would be a major coup for the team. Samuel is one of the best young receivers in the NFL, and he would immediately become the Seahawks' No. 1 target. He would also give Lock a much-needed weapon in the passing game.
However, the Seahawks would have to give up a significant amount of draft capital to acquire Samuel. The 49ers are reportedly asking for a first-round pick and a second-round pick in exchange for the receiver. The Seahawks are reportedly willing to give up a first-round pick, but they are hesitant to part with a second-round pick. The two sides are reportedly still negotiating, but a trade could be completed in the coming days.
