Would a Deebo Samuel trade make sense for the Patriots?

For the second time in two years, Deebo Samuel appears to be on the trade market.

And for the second time in two years, expect the New England Patriots to be mentioned as a possible destination.

The San Francisco 49ers are "expected to explore" trading Samuel this offseason, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday morning. Rapoport writes it's "not a certainty" that Samuel gets traded, but notes that both Samuel and the 49ers "appear to be at peace with moving on."

The 29-year-old wide receiver has a tantalizing skill set as a dual-threat offensive spark plug.
