The Titans traded wide receiver AJ Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles during the first round of the draft. Philadelphia sent the No. 18 and No. 101 selections to Tennessee in the swap. Philadelphia then gave Brown a four-year extension worth $100 million with $57 million guaranteed per Ian Rapoport.
While the trade sets a standard for a possible Samuel trade, Brown presumably has some sort of long-term deal in place to stay with the Eagles. That contract will set a benchmark for where Samuel’s deal comes down for the 49ers.
Given the rift between Samuel and San Francisco along with Samuel’s dual-threat skill set it could take a little more than Brown got to secure Samuel’s services.
