"In the course of trade conversations about Brandon Aiyuk, numerous teams are inquiring about fellow 49ers WR Deebo Samuel's availability," Silver reports. "The 49ers would likely have to be blown away by the offer to make that move. Fluid situation, though."
Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports that the 49ers have had conversations with teams expressing interest in both Aiyuk and Samuel, seeing if general manager John Lynch and company might consider trading up. That includes one team picking in the top 10 of the draft.
Earlier this week, Silver reported that the 49ers had no intention to trade Samuel.
"Samuel, who signed a three-year, $71.55 million extension before the 2022 season, has been assured by his bosses that he will not be dealt during or after the draft," Silver reported, citing a source familiar with the discussions.
Of course, historically, the 49ers have always been willing to listen to offers. Other teams know that and reportedly have had no hesitations in reaching out to inquire about the two star receivers. The trade rumors are heating up, with the start of the draft just hours away.
On Monday, when asked if there was a chance Aiyuk might not be on the 49ers roster come Friday morning, Lynch responded, "I wouldn't anticipate that."
