Jeremy Fowler of ESPN recently reported that a slew of teams have expressed interest in San Francisco 49ers star wide receiver Deebo Samuel. One thing is clear, the Pittsburgh Steelers will have stiff competition for the dual-threat receiver.

So here are the 49ers' options. They can trade Samuel before March 22 for a late draft pick and lose more than $15 million in cap space. Or, they can cut Samuel before March 22 while designating the transaction a post-June-1 release and create more than $5 million in cap space.

Deebo Samuel is seeking a trade out of San Francisco, but some are wondering whether that's really the best option.
