49ers superstar surprisingly called player who could be traded

The San Francisco 49ers took down the New England Patriots on Sunday in convincing fashion but remain just 2-2 on the young season.

San Francisco has one of the most talented rosters in football but hasn't been able to show it off yet this season due to a plethora of injuries. The team is starting to get a little healthier with Deebo Samuel returning against New England, but there still are plenty of question marks.

If the 49ers don't start racking up wins over the next month, it could be a very intriguing trade deadline in November. FanSided's Nick Villano put together a list of one player from each team that could be dealt and surprisingly mentioned Samuel.

"Okay, yeah, this would be wild. However, the 49ers have been somewhat insane over the last year, no? Has a team that was coming off such a close Super Bowl loss had rumors like this involved with them immediately after? The Brandon Aiyuk storyline dominated news cycles, and the 49ers just ended up signing him to the deal they offered him weeks or months before," Villano said. "The story that didn’t get as much coverage as Aiyuk was the rumor they wanted to trade away Deebo Samuel.

"The wide receiver made a stink during his most recent contract negotiation, and his next one isn’t too far away. He has just one year remaining after this one, and Samuel already restructured his contract to make next season less appealing for himself. Teams would love to have Samuel on the roster, even with his current contract situation to handle. The 49ers made it clear that Aiyuk was their priority, and they let Samuel be in trade rumors for quite a while."

It would be shocking if Samuel is traded, but if they struggle over the next few weeks, maybe it could happen.
