There were plenty of incredible moments for Deebo Samuel in his time with the San Francisco 49ers. But as his road with the red and gold seems all but certain to end, it’s looking more and more likely that he’ll end up being cut rather than traded away.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano presented in a column the question of what happens if the 49ers can’t trade Samuel. He detailed the timeline and why the best course of action may be a release of the 2019 second-round pick.

Saints are hiring former Chargers head coach and 49ers assistant Brandon Staley as their defensive coordinator, per sources. Saints HC Kellen Moore and Staley worked together with the Chargers, and now will do the same for the Saints.

Brandon Staley didn't work out as Los Angeles Chargers head coach. But the reason he got the job wasn't because of his ability to make decisions on fourth down or manage the clock, things that got away from him with the Chargers.
