The phone lines of the San Francisco 49ers must have been busy the moment Deebo Samuel‘s trade request was made public.
With the NFL becoming a pass-happy league, who wouldn’t want to have a wideout with 77 receptions, 1,406 yards, and six touchdowns last season?
However, the South Carolina alumnus made it clear that he allegedly doesn’t want to be used as both a wide receiver and a running back.
Despite that request, the teams interested in trading for the All-Pro wide receiver are still plenty that ESPN’s Field Yates made a laugh out of it.

Yates tweeted a picture with the logos of all NFL teams except the 49ers.
The comical caption reads, “I put together a graphic of every NFL team that should try to trade for Deebo Samuel.”
But kidding aside, San Francisco will have the league in their hands because teams must comply with their asking price.
They could request a trade package containing multiple early-round picks for their wide receiver.
The brewing bidding war for Samuel might even lead a team to exceed the haul they are asking.
Trading away players is also possible to clear cap space for a potential contract extension for him.
Which Teams Badly Need To Get Samuel
Even if they already brought in Sammy Watkins, pairing Samuel with reigning MVP Aaron Rodgers will help the Green Bay Packers sustain their dominance in the NFC North.
The Kansas City Chiefs might also feel that the 49ers wideout can fill the void left by Tyreek Hill.
The Dallas Cowboys also have an opening after losing Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson.
The Indianapolis Colts could also benefit from having another wide receiver to line up with Michael Pittman.
If Samuel had his way, he would certainly pick to join a contender.
