Breer noted that if the Jets
Aaron Ness Jersey offered a first-round pick, the 49ers could be compelled to make the move."If the Jets were able to offer a first-round pick for Deebo, who obviously knows Robert Saleh and that's the Jets' going all-in on it," Breer Rich Eisen this week.

He can opt out of his contract after this season, hence why Breer proposed that the Jets could try and take advantage of his looming situation.What stands out from Breer's response was the idea of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch being OK with letting Samuel go if it meant having to keep Aiyuk, their former first-round pick in 2020. Aiyuk is
