One of the most unique talents in the NFL is reportedly on the trade block. San Francisco WR/RB Deebo Samuel is looking to find a new home. The question for the Falcons is if they could afford him? The team is currently $11 million above the salary cap per OverTheCap.com
Samuel is the type of versatile weapon that could change the tenor of an offense. His versatility combined in a backfield with Bijan Robinson or lined up across from Drake London could make the Falcons one of the most explosive offenses in the league.
Most likely, the team will have to maneuver cap space to make room for defensive help before they could turn to an offensive talent like Samuel. With pressing needs along the defensive line, cornerback and safety it becomes very difficult to bring in a player on the other side of the ball who will demand a frontline contract for his talents. But if there's a way for GM Terry Fontenot to make it work, he could be the missing piece on offense and a total gamechanger.
