Michael Silver Believes Aiyuk Deal Could Lead 49ers To Trade Deebo Samuel Near Deadline

The Brandon Aiyuk saga is finally over, and while the end result might not be satisfying for fans of the Pittsburgh Steelers, at least it clears things up for them. For the San Francisco 49ers, though, things might not be so simple. Giving Aiyuk such a massive contract puts them in a tough spot financially. They were already pressed for cap space, and now, according to insider Michael Silver, they may be forced to part ways with receiver Deebo Samuel sooner rather than later.

Taking to Twitter after the Aiyuk deal was announced, Silver laid out how he thinks things will play out with Samuel.
