Samuel Eyes Detroit: A New Throne in the Motor City?!
While nothing is official, speculation is intensifying that Samuel is actively pushing for a trade to the Lions, seeking a fresh start and a chance to ignite the Detroit offense alongside Amon-Ra St. Brown. Is Samuel ready to join forces with Jared Goff and chase a Super Bowl title in the heart of Michigan?
49ers Expected to Explore a Trade
Reports surfaced that the San Francisco 49ers are expected to explore trading wide receiver Deebo Samuel this offseason[1][2]. The All-Pro weapon is due $17.55 million in the final season of a three-year extension he signed in 2022[1]. Samuel recorded just 806 yards from scrimmage and scored four touchdowns in 15 games played last season, while averaging a career-low 44.7 receiving yards per game[1].
### Trade Logistics
Trading or cutting Samuel before June 1 would accelerate $31.55 million in dead money to the 2025 season for the 49ers[3][4].
### Other Teams Interested
Garrett Podell of CBS Sports recently listed a few potential landing spots such as the Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Commanders, and Denver Broncos[1]. Deebo thinks the Broncos could be something special next season and notes that Bo Nix is playing really good ball right now[1].
### What the Lions Need
The Lions have plenty of their key pieces returning in 2025. Adding a playmaker like Samuel to their offense would make them a Super Bowl favorite.
Could this trade actually happen? It remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: the prospect of Deebo Samuel in Detroit has the potential to reshape the NFL landscape as we know it.
