Should the New England Patriots Trade for WR Deebo Samuel?

The New England Patriots need help at receiver and with San Francisco 49ers All pro Deebo Samuel reportedly on the trade block, the Pats should show significant interest in his services. With Samuel having recently been granted permission to seek a trade, the Patriots should already be on the phone with the Niners brass. In fact, New England previously explored the chances of trading for Samuel just prior the 2024 NFL Draft. At the time, the cost was a bit too high at the time. However, Samuel is now a year older and coming off a “down” season in which he had only 806 yards from scrimmage. The haul it took to get him last year, could be a lot more reasonable this time around. Although Samuel isn’t a no. 1 option for the Niners any longer. He would be the top dog in New England. His 22 career receiving touchdowns, along with his 21 rushing touchdowns would give New England a potent dual threat weapon to help elevate quarterback Drake Maye.
