Whether through a trade or release, it appears that Deebo Samuel tenure with the San Francisco 49ers is coming to an end, and the Houston Texans are showing interest.

The San Francisco 49ers are working to honor wide receiver Deebo Samuel's trade request, general manager John Lynch told reporters Wednesday at the NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis.

Washington general manager Adam Peters was in San Francisco when the 49ers drafted Samuel. He knows him well. He knows his strengths and weaknesses better than anyone. Samuel has dealt with numerous injuries and sometimes has issues with drops, but when the ball is in his hands, he's one of the NFL's most dangerous offensive players.
