The San Francisco 49ers were a big topic ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft after rumors circulated that their superstars, wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, could be traded during the draft to free up salary cap space. Fortunately for 49ers fans, that trade did not happen and the team will keep its star receivers for now. However, one NFL analyst suggests that San Francisco could still trade one of the two receivers before the trade deadline in November.

NFL analyst Mike Silver said Aiyuk or Samuel could potentially be traded before the deadline.

There is still a chance that Aiyuk or Deebo could be traded between now and the November deadline if the offer is good enough and/or if things have moved on with Aiyuk.

Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel could be traded before the November deadline, according to @MikeSilver

These rumors all started just before the draft, when ESPN analyst Dan Graziano suggested that the 49ers should trade Aiyuk to fill other needs on the team.

To me, the most likely outcome is that Aiyuk will be traded to a team where he is the clear No. 1 wideout and gets the contract extension he wants, allowing the Niners to draft his replacement in the first round, which is the cleanest way for them to fill all of their other needs.

Which receiver is more likely to be traded?

Despite not making a move at the draft, the team still seems hesitant to give Aiyuk the contract extension he wants. Samuel also became a person of interest in these trade talks after several analysts suggested Aiyuk has better future prospects than the longtime veteran, meaning it will likely come down to who can contribute more in the first half of the upcoming season.

When will the 49ers do something?

While these transfer talks remain speculation, it seems to be a rumor that won't go away, at least until the team either signs a contract extension with one of the stars or trades one of them for other uses. San Francisco will likely listen to a lot of good offers for both superstars, which could lead to a serious shakeup at receiver. Do you think the 49ers will trade one of their receivers before the deadline, or will they find a way to keep both guys and still be successful all over the field?
