According to multiple front-office and coaching sources from teams that had been negotiating potential swaps with the 49ers, it’s Samuel who is likely to be the odd man out. A deal could come together before the start of Friday’s second round, or perhaps when a trading partner is on the clock. The 49ers are believed to be seeking second- and third-round selections for Samuel, a first-team All-Pro in 2021.


The bottom line is this: Things change quickly in the NFL, and teams are constantly striving to get younger, more athletic and less burdened by big contract commitments to veterans, especially those who may have peaked physically. It’s a cruel business, and the franchises that win consistently tend to do so by making cold-hearted calculations toward those ends.

That said, Samuel is special, and it’s unclear how much tumult his absence might cause to the 49ers’ ecosystem. He’s not gone, yet — theoretically, the 49ers could keep Samuel and Aiyuk in 2024 and wait until after the season to move on from one of them — but it’s certainly trending that way.

Between now and the end of the second round, Lynch and Shanahan will likely get an offer they won’t refuse, and Deebo’s five-year run with the Niners will be over.

And Pearsall’s career, fair or not, will be viewed through that prism.

Welcome to the Bay, kid, a land where there’s a ton of offensive firepower — and no shortage of drama.

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk texted GM John Lynch and HC Kyle Shanahan moments after they selected his former Arizona State teammate Ricky Pearsall with their first-round pick Thursday night. The message, per Shanahan: “Fire Pick, can’t lie.”

#49ers WR Ricky Pearsall had his zoom call with the Niners media. Here’s what he said when he was asked if he ever played against Brock Purdy in high school (both are from Arizona):

“I’ll be the first to admit it, we played each other, I think he put 70 on my team, so he’s a… pic.twitter.com/eM07kdOCEE

TOPICS: 



1- 49ERS: 



A- FINANCIALLY WHY THE 49ERS MAY TRADE DEEBO: TOP HEAVY TEAM WITH THE #1 WR SPENDING THATS BEOFRE AIYUK AND THE FIRST ROUND CONTRACT TO PERSALL… 

FIANCNES OF TRADING DEEBO: 

Deebo would generate 22M of dead cap but also 6.9M in cap saving, and he would free 28M next season.

You wonder why the #49ers may trade Deebo today? They are number one in spending at WR. That’s not how they want to allocate their money and it sounds like they value Aiyuk over Deebo. With a Samuel trade, they also save $28M after 2024, when they will pay Brock $45-$50 AAV. It didn’t work out last time they essentially traded an expensive vet for a rookie at a positon, but here we are. 

Other #49ers positional spending ranks: 
QB- 32 (Will be near top after next season) 
RB - 2  (CMC highest AAV $16M+) 
WR - 1 (Before Aiyuk new deal) 
TE - 8 (Kittle $15M , 3rd highest AAV) 
OL - 11 (Williams highest cap hit $31.5M) 
IDL - 1 (Armstead dead money ‘24 $10M/‘25 $18M) 
Edge - 16  (Bosa big cap hit hasn’t kicked in yet ‘24 $14M /‘25 $20M/‘26 $42M) 
LB - 2 (Warner -Greenlaw cap hit combined ($23M+)
CB - 7 (Ward and Demo FAs after 2024) 
S - 20 
Offense - 8
Defense - 2 



B- WHOI WOULD BE INTERESTED: - LIKE TO MOVE HIM TO AFC—- 4 TEAMS—  



PATRIOTS:

⁦‪@JosinaAnderson‬⁩
I'm told the #Patriots had preliminary trade discussions on #49ers WR Deebo Samuel prior to the NFL Draft, per source. 

In general, when teams explore potential transactions with other clubs, finding middle ground on compensation can be challenging. There are always many… pic.twitter.com/bOXi1GtcNJ
