In an NFL offseason like the one we have had to this point, this deal seems inevitable. We have already seen several marquee quarterbacks and wide receivers get traded and sign big extensions with their new team and Samuel may be next.

Let’s take a look at a few teams that could show interest in the All-Pro receiver.

New York Jets

The Jets have been circling the wide receiver waters since the start of free agency. They were reportedly in on Tyreek Hill before he chose to Dolphins and very likely still remain on the hunt for a top receiver for second-year quarterback Zach Wilson. The Jets have $17.8 million in cap space available, according to Over The Cap, and have a pair of first-round picks, as well as two second-round picks, to work with when it comes to negotiating a trade and a subsequent extension.

Kansas City Chiefs

One of the aforementioned teams that traded a star wide receiver, the Chiefs, have done a nice job of building depth after the departure of Tyreek Hill. However, they haven’t necessarily gotten better and could be a little less dynamic on offense despite adding JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdez-Scantling. Acquiring Deebo Samuel would change that. In fact, it would likely make them MORE dynamic than what they were before as Andy Reid and Co. would certainly know how to best utilize his skill set.

Los Angeles Chargers

Despite already making big moves to sign J.C. Jackson and acquire Khalil Mack, the Chargers still have plenty of cap space ($18.3 million), draft capital, and most importantly, an elite quarterback on a rookie deal in Justin Herbert. The AFC West has taken center stage this offseason as we have seen several marquee players come and go already. Deebo Samuel would only add to that and would arguably give the Chargers the best offense, not in the division, but in the entire league.

Green Bay Packers

Much like the Chiefs, the Packers traded away their star wide receiver in Davante Adams. However, unlike the Chiefs, the Packers haven’t done an adequate job replacing that talent. Deebo Samuel would go a long way in offsetting the loss of Adams and it would give Aaron Rodgers a real dynamic weapon in what is likely the last year or two of his career. With $14 million in cap space available, the Packers would need to move some money around in order to acquire and sign Samuel to an extension but, given the talent, that’s a problem worth solving if you’re Green Bay.
