Samuel had just over 600 yards last season and dealt with a calf strain for much of the year, limiting his explosiveness. Injuries have racked up over his career, and he is heading into the last year of a massive extension he signed with the 49ers.

The Pittsburgh Steelers still have a little bit more than a month until the new league year begins in mid-March. After the team's abysmal five-game losing streak to end the 2024 campaign, however, fans are already buying and selling certain rumors that are involving the organization.

The star wide receiver reportedly requested a trade at the end of the season, and the team has granted him and his agent permission to seek one. Despite being in trade rumors for several offseasons in a row now, DraftKings Sportsbook oddsmakers still see Samuel in red and gold in 2025 as the most likely outcome.
