Deebo Samuel campaigns for Jamal Adams-to-49ers trade

Adding onto Levin T. Black's article on how the San Francisco 49ers can afford Jamal Adams, and in case you missed this from Instagram a few days ago, one Niners receiver wouldn't mind seeing his team acquire the New York Jets safety.

Second-year wideout Deebo Samuel endorsed the 49ers going after Adams, as shown below by @OurSf49ers. He wrote "come on [the] gang," referring to the "Niner Gang," a popular alternative name for the 49ers fan base. Samuel's words were directed at Adams.


Samuel isn't the first 49ers player to show support for an Adams-to-49ers trade. Newly acquired offensive tackle Trent Williams, coming from Washington, seemed to campaign for Adams to join his new team by tagging the Jets safety in an Instagram post that showed Williams signing his restructured deal with San Francisco.

The 49ers were among several teams that Adams mentioned as luring destinations. It is worth noting that all of the teams are expected to have good seasons in 2020. While Adams has no desire to remain in New York, the Jets haven't hinted at a willingness to part with the safety.

There was an unverified rumor this past week that two NFC West squads, the 49ers and Seattle Seahawks, had reached out to the Jets and "had preliminary discussions" about the disgruntled defender. Of course, that isn't uncommon when there is a hint that a player might be available and doesn't necessarily indicate a move is imminent.

The 24-year-old Adams, a two-time Pro Bowler and recent first-team All-Pro, seeks to become the highest-paid safety in football. It might be challenging to imagine San Francisco as being able to pull that off with long-term contracts for others, like tight end George Kittle and the aforementioned Williams, in the pipeline. Although, Black goes into that in more detail within his feature.

The Jets drafted Adams out of LSU with the No. 6 overall pick in 2017. He registered 75 tackles, 6.5 sacks, seven passes defensed, an interception, a touchdown, and two forced fumbles through 14 games with the Jets in 2019, per Pro Football Reference.

Ex-NFL WR advocates for 49ers to trade Brandon Aiyuk: "Let that man be free"

By David Bonilla

Brandon Aiyuk recently hinted that he might consider playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers if the San Francisco 49ers are unwilling to offer him a contract extension at market value and opt to trade him to the AFC team. Of course, that could be a negotiating tactic from Aiyuk's camp as the 49ers work to sign the receiver to a contract extension. That doesn't mean San Francisco isn't willing to talk to interested teams. The team reportedly sought the No. 17 overall pick and a player from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Aiyuk, but no deal materialized. 49ers insider Matt Barrows of

Four reasons why the 49ers won't trade Brandon Aiyuk

By Marc Adams
Mar 24

While rumors have continued to swirl about the possibility of the San Francisco 49ers trading star wide receiver, Brandon Aiyuk, some have held fast to the belief that the 49ers will not trade the player. Teams are calling about Aiyuk. Reportedly, the Jacksonville Jaguars were interested but felt the 49ers asking price was too high. And who could forget the talk of Aiyuk going to Pittsburgh when he fanned the trade rumor flames with a social media post about how he and Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin look alike? (Now that he mentions it, they do kind of look alike.) But when push comes to shove, will the 49ers really consider trading Aiyuk? I suppose if the price is right, they will. But they've invested so much in him, from taking him 25th overall in the 2020 NFL draft to
