Packers Should Pass On Trading For Deebo Samuel

Reports on Wednesday confirmed that WR Deebo Samuel had formally requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers. How events unfolded leading up to this point were all too familiar for Packers fans still in the wake of Davante Adams’ trade. Word of Samuel’s unhappiness began to leak out, and it became clear that it was not just a monetary dispute. Samuel is coming in to the last year of his rookie contract and set for a huge payday. But he has apparently decided the physical toll that accompanied his usage as a running back is not in his best interest long-term.
