The 49ers and Deebo Samuel are indeed heading towards a mutual separation. One insider shared new nuggets about the trade chatter.

The Pittsburgh Steelers still have a little bit more than a month until the new league year begins in mid-March. After the team's abysmal five-game losing streak to end the 2024 campaign, however, fans are already buying and selling certain rumors that are involving the organization.

Samuel was a second-round pick by the 49ers in the 2019 draft. In 81 games across six seasons he hauled in 334 receptions for 4,792 yards and 22 touchdowns. He also churned out 1,143 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns on 202 carries.
